South Carolina: engines primed for growth

Article Abstract:

South Carolina has enjoyed much success in attracting investments, with more than 200 international companies investing $43 billion and creating some 50,000 jobs in the state. The influx of these companies into South Carolina has been responsible for boosting the average wage in the state to $28,572, some 27% higher than the national average. The state government is now trying to spread this economic growth from the present industrial clusters to other areas, especially the rural counties.
