Myrtle Beach business news updating soon. ● Myrtle Beach SC Business & Economy # Myrtle Beach SC Business News Myrtle Beach's economy is built on tourism — 20 million annual visitors, 100+ golf courses, and 60+ miles of Atlantic shoreline make the Grand Strand one of the most visited beach destinations on the East Coast. The county economy was a $18.0 billion engine (2023 estimate). Unemployment ran at 3.8% through 2024, against a state rate of 4.1%. South Carolina is a right-to-work state. ## What anchors the Myrtle Beach economy - **Horry County School District**. - **Coastal Carolina University**. - **Horry County Government**. - **Conway Medical Center**. ## Beyond the headlines The economy reaches into **Real Estate & Construction**, **Healthcare Delivery**, **Education**, and **Golf & Recreation Economy**. Myrtle Beach is corporate home to **HTC (Horry Telephone Cooperative) — Conway, SC; largest independent telecom in SC** and **Burroughs & Chapin Company — Myrtle Beach, SC; founding real estate development company of the Grand Strand**. The single largest taxpayer in the county is **Resort and hospitality property owners (combined)**. ## How HERE Myrtle Beach covers it We track every layer of the Myrtle Beach economy: corporate relocations, retail openings, restaurant launches, workforce trends, commercial real estate, supplier announcements, hospital and university capital projects, and the local, state, and federal government decisions that shape how businesses here grow. If it affects business in Horry County, it's HERE.
