WORKFORCE PROFILE
Clarendon County hired The Pathfinders to analyze and report on its current workforce availability. The study focuses not only on the unemployed, but also the underemployed.
The study explains, “While unemployed workers are a source considered in hiring, companies typically also staff a new operation with individuals who are working but who desire better jobs and who appear to possess the skills, education, and experience to qualify them for those better jobs. By that definition, those individuals can be considered “underemployed” and are identified as such in this report."
The study found that the Clarendon County area is home to approximately 61,200 underemployed workers, 37,000 unemployed people who are actively seeking work, and another 11,600 unemployed individuals who would consider re-entering the workforce. That means that there are 109,800 available workers for new or existing employers.
