Gov. Beverly Perdue is flying back from Asia today after a nearly two week expedition to try and lure new businesses to North Carolina.

Perdue is due back this evening after 14 hours of flight time from visits to Japan and China. In addition to corporate shmoozing, she visited schools to get a firsthand look at how those countries' education efforts compare with North Carolina. 

Yesterday Perdue attended a signing ceremony between the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and the Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences, in Research Triangle Park, regarding collaboration on tuberculosis research.

She is due back in the office tomorrow and will make her first post-trip public appearance at the North Carolina Awards ceremony Thursday evening at the N.C. Museum of History.

So we can expect a jobs announcement by the end of the week? The 69,000 North Carolinians out of work since Governor Perdue took office are waiting.

Did she find out if the Chinese allow ILLEGALs into their colleges?
