Southwest Georgia's unemployment rate increases in June
ATLANTA The Georgia Department of Labor reported today that the unemployment rate in the Southwest Georgia area rose to 5.3 percent in June, up seven-tenths of one percent from 4.6 percent in May.
Meanwhile, the state's unemployment rate increased to 4.7 percent in June, up six-tenths of one percent from 4.1 percent in May. The state's rate also matched the U.S. unadjusted rate of 4.7 percent in June.
Unemployment typically increases in June as students enter the workforce looking for temporary summer jobs, and recent high school and college graduates seek permanent employment. Unemployment rose in Georgia by 27,295 in June.
While the state's rate was up in June, it was down three-tenths of one percent over the year, from 5.0 percent in June of 2006.
Also, from May to June of 2007, Georgia lost 3,100 payroll jobs, primarily among seasonal workers in public schools and private education, along with health care, and social services.
Georgia labor market data are not seasonally adjusted and are available at www.dol.state.ga.us.
