Charlton County Workforce Demographics | Workforce


Charlton County’s main industry has long been logging, which is still important to the area economy. There are various companies involved in making wood products, and other industrial companies as well. Tourism has risen in economic importance for the county, due to Folkston being one of the gateways into the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and Charlton County’s presence so close to the coastal communities of St. Marys, Kingsland, and Brunswick and the Golden Isles.

About 74% of Charlton County’s adult population boasts a high school diploma, and about 36% have pursued post-high school education, further illustrating the quality of the labor pool. These individuals are willing to work for competitive wages and are not confined to nine-to-five hours, but are willing to work various shifts.

We need to ensure development is sustainable which meets the need of the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." -- Fred Coley, Executive Director, Folkston/Charlton County Development Authority
