August 2018 Employment Statement

“While we are excited to see record employment numbers for the third month in a row, we are cognizant of employment challenges that may be happening around the state due to the effects of Hurricane Florence,” said Cheryl Stanton, executive director of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce. “We want South Carolinians to know that we can offer assistance if they have been out of work due to the disaster. Unemployment Insurance is one solution to help people get back on their feet, and, as always, we are here to help individuals find new jobs.”
