                           WORKFORCE CAROLINA

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Workforce Carolina on its 20th 
anniversary of doing business in North Carolina. Workforce Carolina is 
a woman-owned business services company founded by Teresa Lewis that 
serves seven counties in the Fifth District of North Carolina. It 
assists employers throughout North Carolina's Triad region with job 
placement, employment screening, payroll and skills assessments. This 
company has been a growing part of the local economy and each year 
employs upwards of 3,000 people through its two offices in Mt. Airy and 
Elkin, North Carolina. In fact, it is the fifth largest employer in 
Surry County, North Carolina.
  This year, Workforce Carolina was named one of the best places to 
work by the Triad Business Journal. The business journal also 
recognized Workforce Carolina as one of the fastest growing companies 
in the Triad in 2006.
  I want to congratulate this fine company for its 20 years of services 
to its community and its commitment to excellence in the workplace. I 
wish all the good people at Workforce Carolina many more years of 
successful business.
