Job Readiness Program
According to the Labor Department, the unemployment rate in April 2020 increased by 10.3 percent to 14.7 percent. Data has indicated this is the highest over-the-month increase in the history data from January 1948. In addition, the pandemic made working extremely difficult due to safety concerns and employers closing businesses. The impact increased unemployment from 15.9 million to 23.1 million Americans in April 2020. Although the unemployment rate has decreased in South Carolina, several people are seeking new career paths.
