loss of 1,400 jobs in the sector follows a contraction
of 1,000 positions in June. The private education and

tion sector has endured this downtrend for the last four
months.
From July 2023 to July 2024, employment in Georgia is up 77,600, or 1.6 percent. Private education and health services (+23,800 jobs), leisure and hospitality (+23,200 jobs), government (+20,500 jobs), manufacturing (+6,500 jobs), and financial activities (+6,500 jobs) have added the most jobs over the year.
In July 2024, Georgia's unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) increased to 3.4 percent over the month. Georgia's unemployment rate remains well below the 4.3 national average. Over the year, the state's rate has increased from 3.2 percent in July 2023.
