What is growing down there, exactly? I don't see many jobs down there for engineers but it has never been a hotbed for engineering work.
A city doesn't need to have a strong engineering sector to post high growth rates, LOL. Two things are largely fueling the growth down there: retirees and Boeing.

I think o f growth in terms of economic growth and jobs. Boeing has some jobs but most people don't work in that field and their jobs wouldn't exist if not for government. I don't see how retirees matter in terms of economic growth outside of housing and helping the local economy with what they buy.

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say that most people don't work for Boeing. Most people in any one city don't work for any one company or in any single sector, and this includes cities that rely relatively heavily on one industry (e.g., Charlotte and banking, Houston and energy, etc.). And I also don't know what the reference to government is supposed to mean.

Well you mentioned Boeing as though most people could get a job there. It's just one company. Your logic appeared to be because Boeing is hiring Charleston has tons of economic growth and new jobs.
I believe much of their work is for their government but I could be wrong about that.
I don't work in manufacturing, those tend to be the worse engineering jobs in terms of horrible work hours and sweat shop environment.

Boeing accounts for a large share of the new jobs in the area, not counting the spin-off effect such a large manufacturer has.
In his June 2013 South Carolina Digest report, economist Dr. Bruce Yandle of Clemson says Charleston is the only SC that has more jobs than before the recession. He adds that noteworthy progress in that regard has also occurred in Columbia and Spartanburg.

I don't believe any place in SC has more jobs now than before the recession.
If I get asked the question in a trivia contest I'm going with Dr. Yandle's take on it.
You do what you got to do but it is simply unbelievable that more jobs in any SC city than prior to the economic collapse. At least as far as good jobs go.
I used to filter by state when I did job searches on Indeed and elsewhere prior to 2008, now I just search nationwide. LOL

Boeings biggest customers are private airlines.
