Charleston, SC Ranked #2 in the Nation for Best Summer Part-Time Jobs

According to the latest study by CoWorkingCafe, Charleston, South Carolina is the 2^nd best U.S. city for summer part-time jobs due to its large number of part-time job openings, high health insurance coverage, and dynamic work environment.

For this particular study, CoworkingCafe compared 331 U.S. cities with at least 100,000 residents that had data for all metrics analyzed. The metrics used for this study were: youth part-time job availability (number of unqualified part-time job openings per 100,000 residents aged 16-24), youth idle rate (share of young population who did not participate in the labor force in the past 12 months), youth part-time work prevalence (difference between the number of young residents working full-time and those working less than full-time), share of part-time employees with health insurance coverage, and share of commuters riding public transportation (excluding taxicabs).

Here are a few key metrics for Charleston:

• Charleston boasted the 2^nd highest availability of youth-focused part-time jobs, with more than 5,700 openings per 100k residents aged 16-24;
• The city ranked 7^th among our top 15 when it came to health coverage, with 70% of part-time workers having health insurance as an employee benefit;
• Charleston had 25% more part-time workers than full-time employees, coupled with a 35% idle population rate — the latter suggesting a relatively low competition for youth-focused jobs;
• Nationally, the Northeast stood out with four high-scoring cities at the very top of the list, with Rochester, NY, snatching 1^st place.
