South Carolina has the 2nd highest percentage of job resignations in the nation according to the latest study

March 22, 2022 by 0 Comments
Read More

WalletHub has released its findings for the 2022 U.S. states with the highest resignation rates. Our own South Carolina was ranked as the 2nd highest in the nation with a resignation rate in the last month of 3.80% and in the last 12 months 3.28%.

See how the rest of the nation faired:

Methodology

To rank the states and the District of Columbia, WalletHub considered the rate at which people quit their jobs in both the latest month and the last 12 months. We then used these metrics to rank-order the resignation rates from highest to lowest.

  • Resignation Rate (Latest Month): Double Weight (~66.67 Points)
  • Resignation Rate (Last 12 Months): Full Weight (~33.33 Points)

 
Sources: Data used to create this ranking were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The 10 WORST CITIES in America to Buy a House in 2022 (Look who made the list) – New Video

March 22, 2022 by 0 Comments
Read More

DO NOT BUY a House in these 10 CITIES in 2022.

These 10 Cities are in major HOUSING BUBBLES and could enter a Housing Crash very soon.

10. DALLAS, TEXAS The Dallas Housing Market is ON FIRE. Home Prices are up 30% YoY while inventory on the market is down by 75% in the last two years. That makes it a terrible time to be a home buyer and a great time to be a seller.

09. HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA Huntsville’s Real Estate Market has been buoyed by the huge technology presence in the metro, pushing home prices up by 40% in the last two years. However, a CRASH could be on the horizon. Lots of homes are being built and Huntsville has never been this expensive.

08. CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Home Prices across Charleston are up by nearly 26% over the last year. Meanwhile, homes for sale are down by over 80% over the last two. But a Housing Crash could be coming. Home Builders are going nuts in Charleston and that could push home prices down.

07. PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA Port St. Lucie’s Housing Market is a pandemic darling. A huge influx of migration and real estate investor demand has pushed home prices up by nearly 40% in the last 12 months. Careful if you’re a home buyer or real estate investor: in the last Housing Crash Port St. Lucie went down by 55%.

06. MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE The only non-Sun Belt Market on this list. Homebuyer Competition in Manchester’s Real Estate Market is nuts. The typical home on the markets sells within 12 days while home prices are up by over 40% in the last two years.

05. TAMPA, FLORIDA Tampa / St. Petersburg is BOOMING over the last several years. There has been a big influx of remote workers and as a result home prices and rents are up by 30% YoY. Will this market sustain itself? I’m skeptical. Home Prices Crashed in Tampa back from 2007-12 and I suspect they could again.

04. SARASOTA, FLORIDA Sarasota has the oldest homeowner population in America and a huge influx of investors. This makes it the 4th Worst Market in America to buy a house right now.

03. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Nashville, also called “Austin 2.0”, has transitioned from a slow and steady Housing Market that was affordable to a mania-driven market fueled by California buyers. The result is that home values in Nashville are up 30% YoY after never eclipsing 10% in its history. Get ready for a Housing Crash to hit Nashville.

02. AUSTIN, TEXAS Austin might be in the biggest Housing Bubble of all-time. Home Prices are up by nearly 70% in the last three years, pushed up by Tesla’s relocation and inbound migration from California. But with a huge pipeline of home building and rising interest rates, Austin’s economy and Housing Market is in the crosshairs of a potentially devastating crash.

01. RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA Raleigh is the most COMPETITIVE Housing Market in America right now. Inventory is down by over 80% and home prices have nearly doubled in the last six years. This comes after 20 years of mediocre home value growth. Be very careful if you’re buying in Raleigh or Durham, because these markets are looking like BIG HOUSING BUBBLES potentially.

PURE Theatre Announces the World Premiere of Honoria Quietly Drawing Strength From Her Truth

March 21, 2022 by 0 Comments

“I just needed — still need — to connect to my past. Even if that past is not pretty.”

Charleston, S.C. – March 18, 2022 – PURE Theatre is debuting the world premiere of Honoria Quietly Drawing Strength From Her Truth by Clifton Campbell. The show will run from April 27 through May 14 at the Cannon Street Arts Center.

A social activist, a Vietnam vet and a progressive theatre artist, each eager to tell their stories to the world, vie for a valuable piece of property donated by an affluent Southern family with their own complicated past. Honoria Quietly Drawing Strength From Her Truth is a lurching and comical exploration of our failures to connect. A culture of disparate voices fighting to be heard, Honoria explores the unimpeachable nature of privilege, and the unsettling truths about the legacies we think we leave behind.

Directed by PURE Artistic Director Sharon Graci, the show will feature PURE Core Ensemble members Sullivan Hamilton, Josh Wilhoit, Michael Smallwood, Tonya Smalls Williams, Brannen Daughtery, Randy Neale, and R.W. Smith. 

Clifton Campbell is the author of 16 full-length and short plays. His work has been produced at Victory Gardens, American Blues, Pegasus, and Stormfield Theatre, in Chicago, the latter as Playwright-in-Residence. In Los Angeles, his work has been produced at Cast Theatre, Carter-Thor Actors Studio and Blue Line Theatre. His play Emerald Tree Boa was workshopped at the Mark Taper Forum under the direction of Mark Medoff, produced by Gordon Davidson. In addition to his work for the stage, Mr. Campbell has worked in television for more than three decades. He is currently developing Middlebrook Strong, a one-hour dramedy with eOne Entertainment, produced and directed by Doug Liman and Hypnotic Films.

Tickets for Honoria range from $28 to $40. There will be two pay-what-you-will performances on Thursday, April 21 and Wednesday, April 27.  $10 student rush tickets are available at the door. The show will be simulcast as part of PURE Live on Saturday, April 30, May 7 and May 14 and is available through the All-Access Flex Pass for three, four or eight tickets. 

Additional information about Honoria and the All-Access Flex Pass can be found on PURE’s website at puretheatre.org or by calling the box office at 843.723.4444 (Tuesday through Friday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm).
