The Fayetteville-Cumberland Economic Development Corporation announced that hiring is underway for Fortuna BMC in Cumberland County. The 50 call center employees will be remote work opportunities.
“We are eager to select Fayetteville for our expansion on the East Coast due to its proximity and connection to Fort Bragg, the largest military installation in the United States by population,” Jack Smith, CEO and founder of Fortuna BMC said in an FCEDC release. “As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I can identify with the challenges presented by the military-to-civilian transition, such as fundamental career support, and helping others understand the skills I can bring to the table from serving my country in the armed forces. After our recent visit to Fayetteville, we are fully convinced that this is a welcoming community for organizations like Fortuna BMC that are passionate about connecting the military community to great job opportunities post-service.”
Fortuna BMC is an "IT consulting and staffing company" that focuses on things like Contact Center Support, Information Security and Project Management, among other specialties.

"We’re excited that Fortuna BMC selected our region as the place to create those meaningful connections, which will undoubtedly bridge the gap for the veterans."
The release said Fortuna BMC will work with a number of local organizations and educational institutions on workforce development and hiring for the Fayetteville call center jobs.

Sorry Raeford friends, it seems that you - along with many other North Carolina cities - may not be so good at money management.
According to the latest survey from our friends at WalletHub.com, Raeford comes in next to last in the country for money management. Only the good folks in Willis, Texas might be worse at in fact, as Raeford came in ranked No. 2,571 on the list.
WalletHub ranked 2,572 U.S. cities on money management, based on 10 key indicators. Those included things like average credit scores, late mortgage payments, and debt-to-income ratios.
Raeford was done in on the rankings by exceptionally bad credit card debt-to-ratio rankings, at 7.75 percent.
But Fayetteville, don't get too excited. We didn't do much better here, coming in at No. 2,503 on the list, the third percentile. And Hope Mills, you're not in the clear either, coming in at No. 2,546 on the list.
Among North Carolina cities, Cary came out best overall, ranked at No. 96 in the country, a whopping 2,475 spots better than Raeford at money management. We ranked all the North Carolina cities below.
"A survey of consumer financial literacy reflects a growing need for financial instruction in U.S. households. Only 57% of adults, for instance, give their knowledge of personal finance high marks, and 47% maintain a budget and keep an eye on their spending," WalletHub said in their release. "Good money management skills are more important now than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic."
Some experts think a lack of education at even the high school level contributes to some of this problem.
"Financial skills should be taught as a mandatory part of the high school curriculum," said Dorris Perryman, Adjunct Associate Professor of Accounting at Bristol Community College. "Many students are working evenings, weekends, spring, and summer breaks. Financial skills will help students understand money management. Financial knowledge will help break the poverty cycle because students will garner a better understanding of how money, credit cards, insurance, and other tools work."
