Georgia Unemployment Rate
(Seasonally Adjusted)
employment grew by 4,800 in March, as a result of
healthcare and social assistance adding 5,000 jobs and private educational services shedding 200. Government
expanded by 3,300 nonfarm workers, thus continuing an
upward trend for the fifth month in a row.

Information shed 2,300 jobs in March, the sector's third loss in four months. The trade, transportation and utili-
ties sector, on its third consecutive month of employ-
ment contraction, shrank by 300 jobs. The reduction is due to a decrease of 700 wholesale trade positions and
100 fewer nonfarm workers in retail trade that overpowered the employment gains of 500 in transportation,
