The state welcomed 5,400 new nonfarm payroll jobs last month, bringing the total number of employed individuals to approximately 2.41 million statewide. This positive development has contributed to an overall decrease in the unemployment rate, which now stands at 4.1%. About 105,705 people are currently unemployed in South Carolina, marking a slight improvement from the estimated 106,470 unemployed individuals in April.
Officials from the Department of Employment and Workforce attribute this success to the strong leadership within the state government and a business-friendly environment that continues to attract various industries. Bryan Grady, Assistant Executive Director of Labor Market Information at SCDEW, emphasized the importance of this commitment. “From the Governor on down, there’s a strong commitment to making sure we are a state that is open for business and attracting a wide array of industries,” he said. “And we’ve certainly seen that.”
Regional Highlights
The latest report showcases low unemployment rates across key regions in South Carolina. Both the Upstate and Lowcountry areas are experiencing favorable economic conditions, while the Midlands region demonstrates steady growth. Although the Midlands hasn’t seen the same level of population growth as Greenville or Charleston, it remains economically stable. The workforce in this region is bolstered by state government operations, the University of South Carolina, and major hospital systems.

Connecting Job Seekers with Employers
In addition to tracking employment trends, SCDEW officials have been actively working to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers through initiatives like job fairs and workforce services such as SC Works. Catherine Hill, a Senior Business Services Consultant at SCDEW, highlighted these efforts: “South Carolina is connecting people with amazing companies hiring across the state,” she stated. “Depending on the job you want, we have it, and it works.”
Hill further shared her satisfaction in seeing job seekers find success through these programs. Many attendees leave job fairs with interviews already scheduled, emphasizing the value of face-to-face interactions over traditional online applications. “That personal connection makes a huge difference compared to just applying online,” she explained.
These concerted efforts demonstrate South Carolina’s dedication to fostering a thriving job market. With continued collaboration between state agencies and businesses, the outlook for future employment opportunities remains promising.
