Surprising Suburb Named Top U.S. Job Magnet

Summerville, a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, has been named the top 'job-magnet suburb' of 2024 by Move Buddha, thanks to its rapid job growth and affordable housing. The area boasts a 4.2% job growth rate, significantly higher than the national average, driven by industries like auto manufacturing and logistics.
