South Carolina has the lowest union membership percentage out of any state. Only 3% of workers in South Carolina are in a labor union.

Nikki Haley was the Governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017.

Lesser known fact about South Carolina. In South Carolina and North Carolina, 16 year old and 17 year old students drove the school bus routes until 1988 because the states didn't want to hire bus drivers and they payed the students less than minimum wage. Gen X children drove their own school busses. In West Columbia South Carolina, January 1988, a 17 year old bus driver ran over and killed a 4 year old student. The federal government ordered them to stop using children to drive the buses.
