A new report concludes these are boom times for the Wilmington area when it comes to job growth.
The non profit Milkin Institute in Los Angeles, ranks Wilmington second in the nation when it comes to additions to the workforce. A 2005 survey by the same group had Wilmington ranked 59th. General Electric and Invista are among the local companies adding new workers.

John Hinnant of Wilmington Downtown Inc. Also gives credit to the city's historic charm and the growth of businesses in the downtown area, including PPD. Hinnant says investors and developers are starting to take notice of the city's potential. "They see us on the verge of great growth. We've had a lot of interest from outside developers and investors looking to come to Wilmington and start projects because they know the quality of life is strong here. They know we are a magnet for corporations looking to establish offices in this area, and build their work force," explained Hinnant.
December's Money Magazine also has a pat on the back for Wilmington's economy, stating the housing market here is, to use their word, sizzling.
