Maybe the average pay for the bulk of new jobs coming to South Carolina will be higher in the future.

Woohoo, SC!

I think the state slogan should be: "Proud to be Poor!"

LOL.....yes, the upstate competes well with Mexico for manufacturing jobs. Many in the development industry say that upstate SC is our answer for Mexico. That explains why wages and education levels are so low around here. While Greenville city limits is nice (and small) the county is trailer park central.

So true! LOL! Greenville is following Columbia's lead, but instead of the ghetto, thugged out, live off the government dole path Columbia took, Greenville put it's own trailer park spin on it! Cities in SC have it covered.

Do you live here? I would respect you if you just posted your true feelings. You hate Conservative Christians. Just be honest, you'll feel better about yourself.
