Greenville County proudly boasts a diverse, well-educated, and skilled workforce. Employers draw workers from a wide area, including neighboring counties in Upstate South Carolina, western North Carolina, and northern Georgia. Our market has competitive wages, and as a right-to-work and employment-at-will state, South Carolina enjoys stable employer-employee relations and one of the country’s lowest unionization rates.

As Greenville continues to gain recognition for its quality of life, the talent pool also continues to grow. The city regularly rates as one of the Best Places for Young Professionals (Niche), The South’s Best Cities on the Rise (Southern Living), and the Best Small City in the United States (Conde Nast Traveler). Greenville and the Upstate SC Region are actively attracting new residents through initiatives of the visitor’s bureau, VisitGreenvilleSC, and their Yeah, That Greenville campaign, as well as new workers through the Upstate SC Alliance’s MoveUpstateSC campaign.
