Working in Charleston
Employment Landscape
Job seekers in Charleston will find a job market shaped by both steady expansion and intense competition. Tourism remains a key pillar—2024 tourism added about 1,200 jobs and drove a record $14 billion in local economic impact—but it is balanced by employment in manufacturing, healthcare, government, and trade sectors. Boeing’s ongoing $1 billion expansion is set to add around 500 jobs over the next five years, reinforcing aerospace’s role in the region. The labor pool has expanded 18 percent since 2018, but employers increasingly face pressure to offer better pay and benefits amid a tight labor market. Meanwhile, logistics and the industrial real estate market remain active, despite rising vacancies, as port-related demand continues to underpin growth. Overall, job hunters will find opportunity but must contend with competition and targeted hiring in certain strong sectors.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
Tourism and hospitality continue to add jobs as visitor spending and hotel stays climb. Aerospace and logistics remain solid though hiring is selective and tied to major investments. Other sectors such as healthcare, education, and professional services are stable or growing modestly amid competition for talent.
"In Charleston you will find openings, but everyone else is looking for them too—you may need to wait your turn or show why you stand out."
