I'm curious (generally) about how NC votes split out amongst workers in "new economy" jobs versus "traditional" employment sectors (in grossly oversimplified terms, I suspect the "non-natives" sample break out along employment sectors as well as voting more Dem). I also think that it might be particularly interesting to get a snapshot of financial sector workers at this moment. <BR/><BR/>I realize that this yields a longer, unwieldy question for phone surveying, and I'm not even sure how many broad categories you'd need. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Alternatively, just an employment status question might be interesting, particularly if you as an "out of work in the past year" in addition to "currently unemployed."thisnisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663188886983604953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-24215798985107594192009-03-09T17:17:00.000-05:002009-03-09T17:17:00.000-05:00How about a question about tuition increases at pu...How about a question about tuition increases at public NC universities?

With all this focus on the economy, environmental protections are often pushed aside while we try and re-start the economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
