Why we do not publish a SC average
We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a South Carolina average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.

Title portability is the trap. Moving state usually means a new application, sometimes new coursework. We map it before a candidate commits.
