Welcome to the Central Carolina Region. Columbia, South Carolina and the surrounding 6-county region is one of the fastest growing regions on the east coast of the United States. This strategically located region offers tremen dous advantages for industrial and commercial projects.
Successfully entering new territory often requires the services of a knowledgeable and trusted local guide. This is especially true when making a significant business investment, where location of available and suitable industrial real estate, knowledge of local laws and policies, access to financial resources and community leaders is important.
That guide is the Central Carolina Economic Development Alliance (CCEDA). We are committed to delivering a pro-business climate. The region features access to global markets via the Port of Charleston and the United Parcel Service southeast air hub. You will also find one of America's top ten zoos and one of the oldest public institutions of higher learning.

South Carolina Employment Security Commission, Labor A'larket Information Division, August 2002 COLUMBIA REGION EMPLOYMENT SECTORS 2001 UND EREMp I.O)YNy1 ENT In the 30-mile labor draw area for Columbia, 20.7 percent of the resident labor force had individual gross earn ings of $12,000 or less per annum in tax year 2001. This is equal to approximately $5.77 per hour based on a 2,080-hour work year common to business and industry and represents some 60,703 residents. Workers from this relatively low earnings group are among the first to respond to more attractive job opportunities and are a valuable source of experienced, recruitable workers to new and expanding industry and business.

UNIONS South Carolina is a right-to-work state, which has contributed to high productivity levels. South Carolina is the 3rd most productive state in the United States and is first in productivity in the Southeast. The state had a 0.0002 percent work stoppage rate and a 1.8 percent unionization rate in 2002.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE &
WORKER'S CoM PENSATI ON Companies in South Carolina pay unemployment insurance only on the first $7,000 of employee income. If a company's current experience rating does not transfer, South Carolina's initial rate is the federally mandated mini mum of 2.64 percent. Compared with states where the base is $8,000 and assuming the same rate in each state, the lower bas alone saves employers $140 per employee annually.
In addition, worker's compensation costs in South Carolina are the third lowest in the United States. Only 18 or the 51 states have rates below $2.00. Rates shown below are $100 of payroll.

-Aveerage commute time is 23. 5 ininute BUSINESS TAXES 8 INCENTIVES Much of South Carolina's success in attracting capital investment is due to its conservative policies in fiscal management. This conservatism has allowed South Carolina to enjoy economic growth while maintaining low and stable tax rates. South Carolina is one of only eight states in the nation to maintain an AAA credit rat ing from Moody's Investor Services.
This success is due to a broad array of factors, including excellent access to markets by road, rail, air and water; quality-focused manufacturing labor; out standing technical training; reliable and low cost utili ties; and a pro-business government at all levels.
One important tool for government in attract ing investment and jobs is tax policy, including tax incentives. In South Carolina, tax and incentive polices have been guided by two design strategies: 1) to encour age investment and employment and 2) to reward prof itability. These are sound reasonable public purposes and are designed to promote the growth of a solid econ om)y Corporate Income 7a x
