S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell, Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell and USC president-elect Harris Pastides are among the state leaders who will unveil an economic plan Tuesday they say will create more jobs.

The group will hold an 11:30 a.m. news conference at the Employment Security Commission in Columbia to provide details.

Unemployment in S.C. was 6.2 percent in June, down from May’s 6.5 percent rate, which was the highest monthly unemployment rate in 2008.

The state’s unemployment rate is above the 5.5 percent national average.
