Governor Patrick Morrisey Orders Flags Lowered to Half-Staff in Honor of Former Governor and U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has issued a proclamation ordering United States and West Virginia flags at the State Capitol Complex and all state-owned facilities across West Virginia to be flown at half-staff. This directive is in honor of former Governor and U.S. Senator John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV, who passed away at the age of 89. The flags will remain at half-staff from the date of the proclamation through sunrise on Friday, November 13, 2026. Governor Morrisey stated that West Virginia has lost a man who devoted much of his life to serving the state and its people, acknowledging Rockefeller's nearly five-decade career in public service, which included two terms as governor and 30 years in the U.S. Senate. He extended condolences to Rockefeller's family.

South Carolina Becomes Top Destination for Gen Z Adults in 2024

In 2024, South Carolina emerged as the leading state for net migration of Gen Z adults (ages 18-27), with an estimated 22,843 more individuals in this age group moving into the state than leaving it. A total of 60,223 Gen Z adults relocated to South Carolina from other states, while 37,380 departed. This data, derived from American Community Survey (ACS) data analyzed by LendingTree, indicates a significant demographic shift. Key reasons for this influx include college enrollment, with 44% of in-movers being students, and military service, accounting for 7% of the cohort. Most new residents came from neighboring states like North Carolina and Georgia, with New York, Florida, and Virginia also being significant sources. Within South Carolina, 23% settled in the Charleston metropolitan area, 16% in Columbia, and 13% in Greenville. Common occupations for in-movers included waiters/waitresses and receptionists, while college graduates often studied psychology, nursing, marketing, finance, and public relations.
