DEW offices will be closed on Friday, May 9. All SC Works Centers, excluding Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester, will also be closed. We will be happy to serve you when we reopen on Monday, May 12. Please note that some financial institutions may also be closed on Friday, which may delay unemployment payments.

Outreach Programs

The Labor Market Information (LMI) Division offers training sessions on workforce data produced by DEW and other federal and state agencies, as well as the tools and resources available to access them. Sessions are available to South Carolina’s workforce development partners, educational institutions, state agencies, local governments, media organizations, economic development groups, the business community, and other stakeholders. Presentations can be done virtually or in person.

LMI also offers data research services. If you have questions about our state's workforce, please reach out to us. We're happy to help you find the insights you need.

If you or your organization has an interest in accessing these opportunities, please email LMI at lmicustomerservice@dew.sc.gov.
