COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - The stateâs Department of Employment and Workforce reported only slightly more than 3,000 first-time unemployment claims for the week ending Saturday.
That represents the third-lowest weekly total since mid-March of 2020 when the pandemic began.
Last week, 3,037 South Carolinians submitted their first claim for unemployment. That was down from 4,921 for the previous week, which ended on April 17.
Last week was the first week that the work search requirement, which had been waived early in the pandemic, went back into place. As of April 18, SCDEW again requires claimants to complete two tasks to remain eligible for unemployment insurance benefits:
Director of Finance Matthew Kerwood presented a review of the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to the Finance Committee on Thursday. In the quarter that ended on March 31, the city collected 74.3 percent of its overall commitment on property taxes totaling $59,482,137 and 74.1 percent of personal property taxes at $8,690,148. The city s General Stabilization account is at $4,478,112 and the Public Works Stabilization Account has a sum of $243,633. The Public Works Stabilization Fund was created in October 2019 and is where 25 percent of marijuana tax revenue is deposited. The certified amount of free cash stands at $5.3 million because there were no appropriations from the free cash account in fiscal 2020, Kerwood explained.

Heather Korbulic says she was driven out of her job as the head of Nevada’s unemployment agency last June because of threats to her personal safety.
Korbulic had been “doxxed and had her personal information circulated online without her permission.
Nevada lawmakers are now considering whether to make people who undertake organized harassment commonly known as doxxing legally accountable for their acts. If passed, a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Rochelle Nguyen, a Las Vegas Democrat, would ban the practice and allow victims to pursue civil penalties against perpetrators, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
