For
most of the past three decades, as its traditional base in textile
manufacturing fled to Mexico, China and other low-wage havens, the
4.6-million-person state staked its hopes on attracting major employers like
BMW and Boeing, offering tax breaks, job training subsidies and cheap labor.
But that has only helped isolated pockets of the state, regional economists
say.
Meanwhile,
outsiders are gobbling up its homegrown firms. “We’ve become a branch plant
economy,” said Douglas Woodward, an economics professor at the Moore School of
Business at the University of South Carolina. “Our graduates have to go
elsewhere to find work because we don’t have a lot of locally-based companies
with strong national and international markets.”
