S.C.'s ec( upswingi Six of the seven maJor economic indicators improved for the state of South Carolina during the last few months, reports the USC Bureau of Business and Economic Research. In a report entitled "South Carolina Economic In dicators" the state's economic growth is said to be "in general better than that found at the national level." Economic indicators that improved in South Carolina during September include increases in non-farm placements and total manufacturing accessions. "These two indicators," the reports says, "suggest heavy hiring by employers in an ticipation of increased demands for their goods." The report further reveals that initial claims for unem ployment insurance in South Carol Ina went down 25 per cent in September while manufacturing layoffs declined sharply.

The report also reveals that general improvement was shown in five of seven in cidental economic indicators. South Carolina textile em ployment, for example, im. proved slightly to hold the dramatic recovery made by the textiles industry in August. Durables manufacturing, the report says, also continued to recover slowly in September. s e e l wedngrng.Ifte a "C" pags for "ees. ad lcorlasi.bol saisfon. iamonsfalesfs ut.
