Economy upbeat for S C a dated Press
South Carolina’s economy is expected to grow for at least the next 18 months according to economist Mark Vitner of First Union. The state grew 4 percent in the second quarter, outpacing national 3.6 percent GDP growth, with 45,000 jobs forecast this year. Diversification, new plants by Nucor Honda and Bridgestone Firestone boost prospects, but Air South’s bankruptcy and transport sector strain loom.
