While speaking with one of my prospective relocation clients, "Maggie" asked me some questions about employment opportunities in the metropolitan Columbia area. I said to myself......"This is good information for those moving to the Palmetto State." Hence.....

Here is my Top 10 List of Metropolitan Columbia Employers.

1. State of South Carolina  

2. United States Army - Fort Jackson
