The banned unions, sometime in the early 80s.

I know a good deal about SC, my parents lived there for over 20 years. The public schools were abysmal, chronically underfunded. That goes back to desegregation, when most white families sent their kids to private schools rather than desegregated public schools. As a result, they voted down public school budgets year after year, starving the system.

When BMW built a factory in Greenville, they found they had to educate their employees before they could train them to build cars. The majority of them were functional illiterates, incapable of performing the tasks involved with high tech manufacturing. Now that BMW's tax incentives have expired, they're leaving. It costs too much to educate and then train without the tax break to offset the expense. Even then, the workforce wasn't as productive as they had expected, and certainly didn't live up to the expectations after all the investment they made. They're moving to the Detroit area.
