Metro Columbus' unemployment rate shows seasonal decline in August
ATLANTA The Georgia Department of Labor reported today that the unemployment rate in the metro Columbus area declined to 5.3 percent in August, down four-tenths of one percent from 5.7 percent in July.
Meanwhile, the state's unemployment rate declined to 4.5 percent in August, down four-tenths of one percent from 4.9 percent in July. The state's rate was one-tenth of one percent lower than the U.S. unadjusted rate of 4.6 percent in August.
The state's rate declined because of two seasonal factors: students left the summer workforce to return to schools and the schools and some manufacturing industries re-hired workers who had been off their jobs during the summer months.
From July to August, Georgia added 46,600 payroll jobs, with better than two-thirds of those among seasonal workers in public and private schools. In metro Columbus, the number of jobs was up 900, or seven-tenths of one percent, from 122,500 to 123,400.
Georgia labor market data are not seasonally adjusted and are available at www.dol.state.ga.us.
