EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC DATA Last month the South Carolina Employment Security Commission unveiled PEARS ( http://www.sces.org/pears/ ), an impressive new Web resource where you can find up-to-date state population, income, labor force, employment, and related economic data. The first step in using PEARS is to select the geographic area you want to learn more about: a South Carolina county ... one of our six Metropolitan Statistical Areas or 12 Workforce Investment Areas ... or the state as a whole. PEARS is an acronym for Palmetto Economic Analysis and Research System. It was developed by the Employment Security Commission's Labor Market Information Department ( http://www.sces.org/lmi/ ). If you have a question about PEARS or need assistance, please call 803-737-2660 (Columbia) or 1-800-205-9290.  </B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.llr.state.sc.us" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.llr.state.sc.us"><U><B><U> South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation</U></B></U></A></div> <div> <B>(http://www.llr.state.sc.us)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><A HREF=" http://www.scbar.org/public.asp" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" http://www.scbar.org/public.asp"><U><B><U>South Carolina Bar</U></B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B>(http://www.scbar.org/public.asp)</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.state.sc.us/consumer/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.state.sc.us/consumer/"><U><B><U>South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs</U></B></U></A></div> <div> <B>(http://www.state.sc.us/consumer/)</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.schistory.org/displays/RevWar/archives-online/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.schistory.org/displays/RevWar"><U><B><U>American Revolution Documents Online -
