Workforce
The Myrtle Beach area is known to be a premier place to live, work and play. As our population continues to grow year after year, so does our dynamic workforce. From tourism, to construction services to our growing entrepreneurial sector, our workforce is ideal for your business. Additionally, as Myrtle Beach becomes a destination for retirees and semi-retirees, this segment brings with them a wealth of resources and knowledge to the community. In fact, Coastal Carolina University is so committed to this vibrant segment that the Center for Aging and Active Retirement is focused on harnessing this population too.
