DEW Executive Director Cheryl Stanton’s Statement

November 2017 Employment Statement

“It is exciting to see that businesses have added nearly 8,000 workers in this last month, providing opportunities for South Carolinians. Each time a company decides to expand or build a facility in South Carolina, they are giving the state a vote of confidence that we have a skilled workforce available to fill their positions,” said Cheryl Stanton, executive director of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce. “We are working to help ensure that all citizens – whether a disabled veteran, the homeless or an ex-offender – can take advantage of these opportunities by removing any barriers to employment.”
