GREENVILLE, SC-KEMET Corporation, a leading manufacturer of tantalum, multilayer ceramic, solid aluminum, plastic film, paper and electrolytic capacitors, today learned that the company has been selected as one of thirty companies to receive a grant from the Department of Energy for a project that is expected to create over 110 new jobs in South Carolina.

Good. Maybe they won't ship these jobs overseas like they (Kemet) have in the past. Right now, as third in the nation in unemployment, we'll take any jobs we can get to help put folks to work. Thank God...finally some good news for the folks of SC......
This is good news. I have not been checking for jobs there even though they are practically in my backyard. Over the years that I've lived here they've hired, laid off, hired and laid off. Unfortunately it is a cycle that probably will never be broken. I'd just like a job that I like and one that will last me several years down the road.
I just checked with a friend of mine at Kemet. He said that one stipulation of the grant was for the jobs to be in state. They are hoping that is what happens.

Most of their outsourcing was to Mexico.
