“Once again, we have a record number of people working with nearly 11,000 people finding work in January. In this robust economy, we also are seeing more and more people deciding to enter the job market, either for the first time or re-entering after time away. As they join the workforce, it is exciting to see that people are able to find work and are able to provide for themselves,” said Cheryl Stanton, executive director of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.
