| Q: |
What do SLC Legislators do
professionally? |
| A: |
No state in the South has a full-time
Legislature, so for the most part, Legislators leave behind full-time
professions to serve. Legislators bring a wide range of experience to
their roles in state capitals. Nearly one-quarter are in business,
including the self-employed, business owners, and employees of private
companies. Almost one-fifth are attorneys, and one-tenth are retired.

region and for the region by chamber
