It's no surprise Upstate South Carolina produces high-quality products. With a workforce of more than 650,000 and a low unionization rate, the Upstate has some of the nation's most productive employees.
Many of our workers have specialized skills, including a high concentration of architectural and engineering talent, mechatronic specialists, team assemblers and metal workers, and machinists and fabricators. Many headquarters are also located here, employing more than 11,000. Our highly skilled workforce is due in large part to the 23 colleges and universities in the region - including world-renowned Clemson University - as well as our long-established technical college system and nationally recognized state workforce training program.
