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.

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.

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.
