Greensboro's location at the intersection of I-40, I-73, and I-85, combined with the FedEx Mid-Atlantic hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport, has made logistics and advanced manufacturing (aviation, transportation equipment, and now electric-vehicle batteries) the modern backbone of the local economy. The county economy was a $47.8 billion engine (2023). Unemployment ran at 4.2% through 2024, against a state rate of 3.8%. North Carolina is a right-to-work state.
What anchors the Greensboro economy
- Guilford County Schools.

Beyond the headlines
Greensboro is corporate home to Honda Aircraft Company (aviation manufacturing headquarters) and ITG Brands (tobacco manufacturing headquarters).
