State and local unemployment rates spiked from historic lows to historic highs when COVID-19 hit this spring. Unemployment has been on decline since. On Tuesday the state Department of Employment and Workforce announced South Carolina had a 5.1% unemployment rate in September, down from 6.4% in August.
Dan Ellzey, workforce department director, called it an impressive decline in a month.
“However, what our agency is hearing from the business community is the urgent need for workers,” Ellzey said. “While we know a lot of businesses suffered layoffs during the pandemic, industries have ramped back up and several are experiencing a boom.”
SC Works and related organizations are holding open air and drive-thru job fairs, where people can find employment.
“People who are looking for employment are finding work,” Ellzey said. “And now is the time to secure one of these in-demand jobs because South Carolina needs people in the workforce. If individuals have stopped looking for work because they believe businesses are closed or not hiring, let me assure you that is not the case. We are working with employers all over the state who need employees now more than ever.”
