Abstract: Excerpt from the report Summary: This study of human resources in a 10-county area of the Northeast Coastal Plain of South Carolina disclosed severe and persistent problems--problems that preclude easy or quick solutions. Implied needs of the rural population are more jobs; improved housing; greater educational opportunities for youth; training, retraining, and job placement services for adults; and programs of public assistance. The success of programs to provide these needs will depend largely on the attitudes of the area's rural inhabitants, their capacity for self-improvement, and their willingness to accept change. Although the results of the study relate specifically to the 10-county area, this area is believed to be typical of the rural environment of the broad Coastal Plain Region
