State unemployment rises in July as labor force shrinks
South Carolina posted a 10.8 percent jobless rate in July up from 10.7 percent in June, keeping the state among the nation’s highest. The month saw a 30,000 drop in total jobs led by education cuts and Census temp losses, while the labor force fell for the fifth straight month, with 40,000 fewer workers year over year. Economics Prof. Mark Witte cautioned that weak labor participation may keep unemployment elevated for years.

Nearly 50 Percent Leave Obama Mortgage Relief Program
Nearly half of the 1.3 million homeowners enrolled in the Obama administration mortgage relief program have dropped out. The $75 billion effort aims to lower payments for at risk borrowers but foreclosures rise. RealtyTrac reports 2.3 million homes foreclosed since December 2007. Economists say the program is fading as fewer participants secure permanent modifications.
