ECONOMIC2020 IMPACT STUDY The SC Council on Competitiveness is excited to release the 2020 SC Logistics Economic Impact Study, highlighting the logistics sector’s impact on South Carolina’s economy and its growth over the past decade. The study, completed by research economist Dr. Joseph C. Von Nessen, updates the overall economic impact, employee wage averages, and employment growth rates found in the 2017 study as well as showing the increased reliance on technology within the logistics industry. “Logistics has always been a critical part of our economy. 2020 has highlighted how vital it is to our daily lives that we manage the start-to- finish process of how we make, move, and deliver the products we want. From home building supplies and automobiles, to medicines and groceries, logistics touches every product, in every business, every day. Our success as one of the nation’s top advanced manufacturing states would be impossible without a strong logistics sector.” Susie Shannon, President & CEO, SC Council on Competitiveness "After reviewing the results of our study, we are very encouraged by the direction and future of the logistics cluster in South Carolina. The results are not only a clear indication of the hard work and leadership of our logistics firms, but they also highlight the importance of developing the next generation of our technically skilled logistics workforce.” Taylor Jackson, Director of SC Logistics, SC Council on Competitiveness SCLogisticsIndustry.com 2020 ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY SOME QUICK DEFINITIONS PROVIDER Either internal or external logistics functions existing primarily to transport raw materials and/or final products from one firm to another or from a firm to a final consumer EMBEDDED Internal logistics functions existing within a firm in service of that firm’s operations SC LOGISTICS’ INCREASING RELIANCE ON SC TECH SC Logistics companies have tripled their spending with SC technology suppliers over the last decade.

    Global Cities Initiative A JOINT PROJECT OF BROOKINGS AND JPMORGAN CHASE FDI in U.S. Metro Areas: The Geography of Jobs in Foreign- Owned Establishments Devashree Saha, Kenan Fikri, and Nick Marchio Findings This paper advances the understanding of foreign direct investment (FDI)—that is to say, the U.S operations of foreign companies—in U.S. metro areas in three ways. First, it provides a framing of what FDI is and why it matters for the United States and its regions. Then it presents new data on jobs in foreign-owned establishments (FOEs) across the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas between 1991 and 2011. It concludes with a discussion of what policymakers and practitioners can “ The core tenets do to maximize the amount, quality, and economic benefits of FDI into the United States. The new data on the geography of jobs in FOEs forms the centerpiece of this report and of a good FDI reveals that: n Foreign-owned U.S. affiliates directly employ some 5.6 million workers spread across policy overlap every sector of the economy. The number and share of U.S. workers employed in FOEs increased steadily through the 1990s before peaking in 2000 and then stagnating. significantly with n The nation’s largest metro areas contain nearly three-quarters of all jobs in FOEs.

For some, this may mean access to resources to help them through difficult times, while for others that may mean knowledge of local events and experiences to enhance their time in the area, whether for a short visit or an extended residency. Hopefully, this encourages involvement in all aspects of our community and maybe shed some light on some lesser known groups and organizations in the area. This guide includes resources and organizations in Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, and Greenville counties, which are shown in the map below. Clemson is marked by the City logo on the map, hiding in the bottom corner of Pickens County, right on the border of both Anderson and Oconee counties. (These three counties are collectively known as the Tri-County area.) Clemson is also just a short drive from Greenville, which is a larger, more metropolitan area. The City of Clemson is a university town that provides a strong sense of community and a high quality of life for its residents. University students add to its diversity and vitality.

Murphy Chief Operating Officer iii Preface The combination of a surface low-pressure system located along a stationary frontal boundary off the U.S. Southeast coast, a slow moving upper low to the west, and a persistent plume of tropical moisture associated with Hurricane Joaquin resulted in record rainfall over portions of South Carolina, October 1–5, 2015. Some areas experienced more than 20 inches of rainfall over the 5-day period. Many locations recorded rainfall rates of 2 inches per hour. This rainfall occurred over urban areas where runoff rates are high and on grounds already wet from recent rains. Widespread, heavy rainfall caused major flooding in areas from the central part of South Carolina to the coast. The historic rainfall resulted in moderate to major river flooding across South Carolina with at least 20 locations exceeding the established flood stages. Flooding from this event resulted in 19 fatalities. Nine of these fatalities occurred in Richland County, which includes the main urban center of Columbia. South Carolina State Officials said damage losses were $1.492 billion. Because of the significant impacts of the event, the National Weather Service formed a service assessment team to evaluate its performance before and during the record flooding.

  • USC Upstate: Information Technology, Economic Revitalization, and the Future of Upstate South Carolina David W Dodd and Reginald S.Avery
    USC Upstate: Information Technology, Economic Revitalization, and the Future of Upstate South Carolina David W Dodd and Reginald S.Avery Abstract A rapidly changing area of South Carolina presents challenges and opportunities to a rapidly growing metropolitan university serving the region. Multiple and complex collaborative partnerships and innovative, responsive programs demonstrate the interdependent and dynamic relationship between campus and the economic future of the region. In particular, technology proved to be a driving force for many of these partnerships, inspiring the university to develop cutting-edge capacities in order to meet education and workforce needs. The Upstate of South Carolina: A Study in Contrasts The Upstate of South Carolina is comprised of 10 predominantly rural counties in the western-most portion of the state in the Appalachian Mountains and surrounding foothills to the east. The "Upstate" as it is most commonly called, is bordered on the south and east by the Interstate 85 corridor connecting the metropolitan centers of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia. Today, this region is a sharp study in contrasting realities. Once the home of countless prospering textile mills and their surrounding communities, the landscape is now largely one of abandoned factories and impoverished communities occasionally interspersed with the facilities of modem companies. Although this area is rich in resources, the potential of these resources is largely unrealized due to underdevelopment. To many people around the nation, the terms "new economy" and "information age" are concepts far removed from daily life. To the residents of Upstate South Carolina, those terms form a very real boundary between a prosperous past and a very uncertain future.

Comprising approximately 13 million acres, these forests range from hardwood coves in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to maritime forests along the Atlantic Coast. Along with this diversity comes a myriad of benefits that these forests provide as well as a range of challenges that threaten their very existence. One of the most tangible benefits is the economic impact of forestry, contributing over $17.4 billion to the state’s economy and providing nearly 45,000 jobs.
