“For the last eight years, Charleston, South Carolina, has been named the number one city to travel to.

So imagine a restaurant that once had 20 employees now has three, and the demand on those staff who see no end in sight right now. But he is not alone. In the State of South Carolina, there are 85,000 jobs available in the last 30 days, and we have 116,000 people on unemployment today. If you want a job, you can have a job.
