S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce Releases Fifth Round of Lifeboat Jobs

This week’s Lifeboat Jobs is focusing on the Manufacturing industry. If you’ve missed the first several weeks of Lifeboat Jobs, our Labor Market Information (LMI) team scoured through more than 45,000, non-seasonally adjusted*, job postings in South Carolina to calculate and capture the most readily available positions right now in the Palmetto State.

“The Manufacturing Industry is one of our state’s largest sectors. According to the South Carolina Manufacturing Alliance, approximately 12-percent of all South Carolinians were employed in the manufacturing sector in recent years. That’s huge. Not only is the industry a major employer, it’s a major contributor to the state’s Gross State Product (GSP), producing $35.16 Billion each year. That equates to nearly 17% of the state’s entire Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This means that this industry is going to continue to be a top contender in our state for employment opportunities. If you’re looking for sustainable work opportunities, getting experience in the Manufacturing Industry is a very viable career opportunity,” states Labor Market Information/Business Intelligence Division Director, Brian Nottingham.
