SC Job Market

The current job situation in South Carolina sucks. The unemployment rate in South Carolina is at an all time high. 12.5% of people living in South Carolina are currently unemployed. I believe there are two parts of the unemployment problem. The first part of the problem, is the lack of new available jobs. The second part of the problem, is that people are continuously becoming unemployed. Some employees are being fired, laid off, forced to take early retirement, asked to resign, and losing their job due to company reorganization.
