Swansea is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 760 people and four associated neighborhoods, Swansea is the 207th largest community in South Carolina.

A relatively large number of people in Swansea telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.93% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
