Georgia Unemployment Rate

(Seasonally Adjusted)

jobs grew by 1,300 in February and employment in the

sector has now grown for three consecutive months.

In spite of a growth of 100 jobs in management of companies and enterprises, the professional and business services sector attributes its 3,300 contraction of jobs to the loss of 2,100 positions in professional, scientific, and technical services and a decrease of 1,300 in administrative and support and waste management and remediation services. Employment in information decreased by 1,500 over the month. Manufacturing shed 1,400 jobs in February as employment in durable goods fell by 1,000 and non-durable goods dropped by 400.

Over the year, employment in Georgia is up 135,100, or 2.8 percent. Leisure and hospitality (+37,800 jobs), private education and health services (+33,000 jobs), government (+13,300 jobs), construction (+11,700 jobs), and financial activities (+11,100 jobs) added the most jobs from February 2022 to February 2023.
Georgia's unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) in February 2023 is flat at 3.1 percent over the month remaining unchanged since August 2022. Unemployment in Georgia remains well below the national unemployment rate. Over the year, the unemployment rate is up from 3.0 percent in February 2022.
