@chrisj:

Funny that you ask me about South Carolina. I just moved to South Carolina eight month ago from West Michigan. It took me only a week to find a job after moving down. When I first moved down I was being bombarded by phone calls, and e-mails about different IT jobs. It has gotten worse down here since then though, and only in the last two weeks have I seen an upturn in job ads looking for IT workers. I suspect in the next month it will get even better for IT job hunters. Also, the further south you go in South Carolina the more IT jobs you will find. My wife has family in Upcountry so it's unlikely we will be moving very far away from the Upcountry.
