3 thoughts on “A New Wave of Surprising Layoffs Now Hits South Carolina

  1. I wish I could say that this is surprising, but as someone living in South Carolina, it’s far from it. Not only has the economy been gasping for breath in this state, but the sheer number of companies that are running on a skeleton crew (or less) has become commonplace. There’s a huge gap in the number of people who are of the age to work and the age of retirement, this state leaning toward the latter of the two because it does not tax people on Social Security. South Carolina’s overwhelming majority hold with the republican party also continues to not only stunt South Carolina’s growth by implementing policies against progressive thinking or action, it actively suggests bills that lean heavily on control of it’s citizens’ basic human rights. Would you believe that a bill was actually presented in South Carolina punishing abortion with the death penalty? Thankfully it didn’t pass, but the fact that it was even considered is very telling, and it scares away potential younger residents before the severe lack of jobs can. This state is still run like it’s the 1800s. Ask any worker here, and I’m confident that you’ll get a resounding negative response of “overworked, underpaid, and treated like less than human”.
