There are over 236,000 of us in South Carolina who want to work.  We are 11.1% of our state’s workforce actively looking for jobs.  There are tens of thousand more of us who are either underemployed, working part-time or in jobs for which we are far overqualified, or who have given up the job search.  We are the voices the politicians aren’t hearing.  We are the faces policymakers aren’t seeing.  We are the consumers not spending.  We are the customers that our businesses need.  We are THE KEY to growing our state and national economy. 

We want the attention of our policymakers and elected officials.  We want them to know our stories, hear our voices and see our faces.  We want our state and nation to concentrate on job creation, not job killing government spending cuts.  We want good jobs that pay a living wage, give us self-respect and contribute to building a vibrant economy.  We want to be a part of rebuilding the American middle-class dream of providing a good home for our families, sending our children to good schools, owning and paying for a car or two, and saving money for retirement.  We want our government to be on our side and invest in us as the best way to grow our economy.

The Unemployed Consumers of South Carolina (UCSC) is the collective voice and face of the unemployed seeking work in South Carolina.  Utilizing all forms of social networking the UCSC connects, informs, and advocates for its members.  The UCSC seeks to influence the public and political discussion on the issues of job creation, income and sustenance needs of the unemployed, and other issues that directly affect unemployed South Carolina families and the state’s economy.
