Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific factual assertion about the relative size of the U.S. education export sector that can be checked against trade and economic data.
What we foundEducation is not one of South Carolina's biggest exports; the state's export economy is dominated by transportation equipment, machinery, rubber, and chemicals, while international students contributed only $207 million — a fraction of the state's $38+ billion in goods exports.
