South Georgia's unemployment rate rises in October
ATLANTA -- The Georgia Department of Labor reported today that the unemployment rate in the South Georgia area rose to 4.6 percent in October, up two-tenths of one percent from 4.4 percent in September.
Meanwhile, the state's unemployment rate rose to 4.7 percent in October, up one-tenth of one percent from 4.6 percent in September.
Georgia's unemployment rate increased, contrary to the national trend toward lower unemployment, primarily because of a large number of layoffs and a job growth rate that is not keeping up with the number of new job seekers. A total of 48,342 new job seekers entered the workforce, while newly-created non-farm jobs rose by only 17,600, a four-tenths percent increase.
Georgia labor market data are not seasonally adjusted and are available at www.dol.state.ga.us.
