GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue says the state's financial picture is improving but that unemployment may keep rising in the short term.
Perdue told members of the North Carolina School Boards Association on Monday that things are better than when she took office in January. But she said unemployment may reach 11.5 percent before job prospects improve.
North Carolina's unemployment rate has been hovering around 11 percent since February.
Perdue also announced the development of a new Internet site that lets users learn more about higher education courses they can take online.
The governor also was scheduled to visit the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Winston-Salem.
