Income Recession Over But Local Unemployment Grows
There are 13,000 more people out of work in the Lowcountry today than there were in January of 2008. That is costing our community half-a-billion dollars.
Thank you to the employees and companies that are helping Trident United Way raise the resources our community needs to help those in need. MeadWestvaco employees pledged $86,000, a 10% increase over last year. Morgan Keegan conducted its first-ever campaign and raised $5,000.
