Catawba Regional Council of Governments has released its annual Employment and Industry Reports for the counties of Chester, Lancaster, Union, and York, SC. These reports contain detailed data pertaining to growth and/or decline in industry clusters for each respective county. Industry cluster data is delineated by either “Local Clusters” (those industries whose products and services are intended to be accessed and used within the local region) or “Traded Cluster” (industries whose products and services are more national or global in nature.) Additionally, the reports also explore major employment industries as well as commuting patterns in and out of each county. If you have any questions concerning the data, please contact Cole McKinney at the Catawba Regional Council of Governments at (803) 327-9041.
