Message from Secretary Hitt: S.C.'s Growing Labor Force

In February, the State of South Carolina experienced its largest one-month employment increase in history, as the total number of individuals working in the Palmetto State rose by 10,645. A significant milestone, that number represents 10,645 more people who are able to better provide for their families and improve their quality of life.

This remarkable achievement should make all of Team South Carolina proud and inspire us to keep pushing forward, as we work together to continue bringing opportunity and prosperity to the people of this great state.
