Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Thursday, February 13, 2025.
We're starting with breaking news from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. An officer-involved shooting occurred in the 7000 block of South Boulevard early Tuesday morning. According to the CMPD, officers initiated a traffic stop after multiple attempts, leading to the incident. We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available[1].
Moving on to the job market, Charlotte continues to thrive. The city's tech industry is booming, with a 50% jump in tech job postings. Major sectors like finance, technology, and healthcare are driving job growth, contributing to a low unemployment rate of 3.8%. The average weekly wages are around $1,400, and the median household income is approximately $74,000. Companies like Lowe's and PwC are actively recruiting for data science roles, offering salaries ranging from $84,000 to $202,000[2].
In related news, Charlotte's cybersecurity job market is also experiencing significant growth, projected to increase by 32% between 2022 and 2032. Local startups have raised $1.2 billion in 2023, creating numerous opportunities for cybersecurity professionals. Top-paying roles include Cloud Security Architects earning over $150,000 annually[5].
On a different note, the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association has announced its 2024-2025 champions. Congratulations to Charlotte Country Day School for winning the 4A Girls Tennis and 4A Girls Cross Country titles[3].
However, not all news is positive. Recent executive orders from the Trump administration have sparked anxiety among North Carolina's transgender community. The orders restrict access to gender-affirming care and limit the rights of transgender Americans. Local families are expressing concern and frustration, emphasizing the importance of accessible care for their children's mental health and well-being[4].
In terms of community events, there are no major events scheduled for today due to weather conditions. Speaking of weather, today is expected to be cloudy with a high chance of rain. Please plan your activities accordingly.
Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant. The CMPD is working hard to keep our community safe, and we appreciate their efforts.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
