This SC layoff report indicates Greenville County had approximately 500 fewer layoffs than Charleston County this year through mid October.
Charleston plus Berkeley had 1,571 layoffs.
Greenville MSA Counties had 901. 321 of those were Prisma Health hospital. I believe these jobs are business related and will get outsourced to other companies, probably to companies in the Greenville MSA.
Spartanburg County only had 30 total layoffs.
Charleston County tied for the most permanent company closures in the state at 3, with another 3 in Berkeley. Greenville County had 0.
WestRock paper mill closing may stimulate growth in downtown Charleston. That smell was one of the negatives. It is surprising Charleston allowed a paper mill to open there in the first place.

Thanks for the numbers. That's what I was looking for but these look like mostly future jobs I do think a metro needs multiple companies to add 1000 plus jobs to have more jobs than rest of state.
An article indicates Volvo started hiring last month. It'll probably take half a year to fill all 1300.
The Charleston chamber of commerce doesn't highlight the big job numbers. I would have it top of website.
They should let me handle the Charleston marketing.
They are probably paying people six figs to drop the ball
Counter point, companies don't care about how many people are being hired so much as what companies are doing the hiring and how much the population is keeping ahead to allow for others to move in to support said company if necessary. Volvo is still pretty new so i'm not sure how many companies that support them have moved nearby. There are a number of warehouses popping up on Google maps around it now so i assume a number are moving in.

That’s layoffs. Hiring minus laying off equals gains in jobs.
The National Bureau of Labor Statistics’s report for September came out yesterday. Charleston-N. Charleston again had the largest percentage increase in the nation year over year. Among South Carolina’s MSA’s, Charleston N. Charleston’s number of jobs gained just happens to be significantly larger than the rest.
So temporary construction jobs for the port deepening?
No. The port deepening ended in 2022. However many were employed for that project were counted as job losses in the period between September ‘22 and September ‘23. I don’t know how many that was.

I'm still not getting a vibe Charleston is adding more jobs than most of the country, unless most of the country is in a recession.
I recognized most of the companies that closed in Charleston except TELUS which had opened two years ago. The metro had to make up those 1700 lost jobs first
Typically if a metro has big name employers closing it is a down year

If you go by 'vibes' the oil production is at an all time low and we are already in a recession. Vibes are entirely irrelevant.
