South Carolina’s economy is ranked fifth-worst in the nation, according to a list released this week by the website Business Insider.
The Palmetto State fares poorly on employment, per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and incomes … all of the stuff that matters, in other words.
“South Carolina lost 4,600 nonfarm payroll jobs in July, the third-worst loss in the country,” the website notes. “Gross Domestic Product per capita was just $30,728, also the third-lowest.”
Only four states had worse economies than South Carolina, according to the report: Maine, Arkansas, New Mexico and Mississippi.
This website has been exposing the myth that is South Carolina’s “recovery” for some time now … just as we were the first to expose the “welfare-to-work” scam of incumbent governor Nikki Haley.
