Revised estimates for 1999 - 2000 in this issue Annual Issue - Volume XXVI, Number 12 Y2K employment summary: "Things ain't what they used to be..." During the year 2000, Georgia's employment increased by 2.8 percent, a full percentage-point lower than in the previous year. Although the decade of the nineties enjoyed job growth rates which peaked as high as 4 to 5 percent between 1993 and 1995, the 110,200 jobs Georgia gained in 2000 are well above the national average of 1.5 percent, and certainly nothing to sneeze at. In fact, Georgia added over 1 million new jobs over the decade, a 33.5 percent increase since 1990. At the same time, it is evident that "things ain't what they used to be." Indeed, third quarter job growth slowed to a whopping 0.1% in 2000 and quarterly job growth has not surpassed 1.5 percent since the 2nd quarter of 1999. Yet despite the slower employment growth, the state's unemployment rate remained low in 2000, with the annual average unemployment rate just around 3.5%. This relatively low unemployment rate may help to explain our slow employment growth, as employers struggle to find qualified workers for jobs, and possibly decide to locate or relocate where labor is more readily available. In addition to a low unemployment rate, wages are trying to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Manufacturing production workers' wages rose during the year by about 2.7%, slightly less than the rate of inflation in 2000 (3.4%). Production workers' hourly earnings peaked in November at $13.33 per hour and averaged $13.01 over the year. Georgia continues to rank among the fifteen lowest-paying states in the manufacturing industry. The slowdown in Georgia was most pronounced in the manufacturing division.

Although manufacturing employment rose 4.7% over the decade, this year Georgia suffered a net loss of 9,400 manufacturing jobs due mostly to overseas competition and advances in technology. Over 8,400 of these losses were in nondurable goods manufacturing, and the apparel industry was the hardest hit. Over the year Georgia's apparel industry has experienced a 12.5% drop in employment, constituting a net loss of 3,500 jobs. In other nondurable goods manufacturing, food and kindred products and textile mills each lost 1,600 and 1,500 jobs over the year respectively. Durable goods manufacturing posted an overall loss of 1,100 jobs in 2000 despite significant gains in several industries. Unfortunately, solid gains in a few sectors were offset by a loss of 1,800 jobs in transportation equipment manufactur- Continued on page 2 Georgia Department of Labor Michael L.

This industry also suffered a six-hour reduction in average weekly hours from 47.5 hours per week in January to the year's shortest workweek of 41.5 hours in December. Average weekly earnings also fell significantly in this industry from a peak of $976 in April to as low as $858 in December. The slowing in transportation equipment manufacturing occurred primarily in the fourth quarter as high interest rates, fuel prices, and inventories took their toll on the industry. Surprisingly, electronic equipment manufacturing, which many hoped would be the bright spot of Georgia's manufacturing sector, was stagnant over the year with virtually no job growth, even in Atlanta, the "hightech capital" of the southeast region. Construction industry employment reached 212,900 in August, well above its 204,000 level in August 1999. Over the decade, construction has experienced an amazing 41% increase in employment throughout the state and a 69.7% increase just in Atlanta. Construction employment continues to grow faster than employment growth overall, and worries some economists who feel that a loss of construction industry jobs could exacerbate an economic downturn. This is of particular concern in Atlanta given the increasing caution displayed by developers and the abandonment of a number of large business and residential construction projects. The transportation industry, which includes trucking and warehousing as well as railroad and other transportation services, continued to grow consistently in 2000, adding 4,600 jobs over the year. Similarly, the communications industry grew from around 76,700 jobs in 1999 to 82,000 in 2000, almost a 7% increase. Employment in the utilities industry on the other hand, which includes private-sector electric, gas, and sanitary services, fell by 2.8% in 2000 losing nearly a thousand workers since September of 1999. Wholesale trade employment has increased by 20.7 percent since 1990, but was only up by 2,900 over the year, around a one-percent increase. Wholesale jobs peaked in June at 262,900 and slowed considerably over the latter half of the year. Retail trade employment picked up another 19,000 jobs this year, a 2.7% growth rate. 2 Manufacturing woes of Y2K Prin tin g & pu blish in g Pape r & allie d produ cts Fa bri ca te d m e ta l Lu m be r & wood El e c tr o n i c e qu i pm e n t Tr a n s po r ta ti o n Equ i p.

The finance industry's employment slid during the second half of the year from its all-time peak of 95,500 in July 2000 to 93,300 at year-end. High interest rates may be partially responsible for this decline. Insurance firms added 2,300 jobs over the year, reaching a peak of 72,400 in November and dropping slightly in December. Employment in the real estate industry continued to grow in 2000, adding 2,100 jobs over the year and most of that during the fourth quarter. It appears that the continued high level of in-migration into Georgia has helped to counter the effects of high interest rates and enabled the real estate industry to continue to expand. The services division contributed 66,600 new jobs to Georgia's job growth in 2000, resulting in a 6.2% increase over the period. Indeed, nearly one out of every three workers in this state is employed in the services division, which now encompasses 1,132,400 workers statewide. Over the decade, the services division has nearly doubled, experiencing a 78.2% growth since 1990. It is worth noting, however, that after four consecutive months of growth in the latter half of 2000, December delivered a loss of 5,600 jobs in the services sector, during a month where a gain of 6,000 jobs is the norm. Individual services industries exhibited vastly different trends in 2000. Hotels and other lodging places had less than one-percent growth over the year and educational services actually lost about 100 jobs. On the other end of the scale, 20,600 jobs were added in business services, constituting a 6.5% increase over the year. Computer and data processing services employment grew at an 11.2% Continued on page 3 ANNUAL GEORGIA LABOR MARKET TRENDS Y2K employment summary: "Things ain't what they used to be..." Continued from page 2 rate, adding 7,900 jobs statewide and 6,100 in Atlanta alone. Personnel supply services reached an apex of 147,100 jobs in October after seven consecutive months of growth and then lost 4,900 jobs over the next two months. This was particularly surprising given that November and December are generally the peak season for temporary staffing services. Health services employment added 6,500 jobs in 2000 (a 2.7% increase) and engineering and management services added 4,000 jobs over the year, a 4.6% increase. Social services and amusement and recreation services added 1,600 and 800 jobs respectively. Federal government employment grew by 4.3% in 2000 despite a reduction in force of 5.5 percent over the decade. One might be surprised to learn that in fact Georgia employs 5,700 fewer federal government employees than it did ten years ago. State government education employment this past year grew by 700 jobs, primarily at the two largest state universities. Overall, however, state government was virtually unchanged, reporting a 0.1% increase over the year. Unlike federal government, the number of state employees has increased by 17.3% over the decade, now numbering 152,500. Local government education employment has added 6,900 jobs over the year as the school systems have tried to keep pace with the burgeoning population. Indeed, as Georgia's resident population has grown from 6,478,149 in 1990 to 8,186,453 in 2000 (a 26.4% increase!), not only have we gained two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, but we have also gained 54,600 jobs in local government (an 18.3% increase). In 2000 alone, Georgia added 6,800 workers to local government payrolls to help serve the needs of her people. While the decade of the nineties was good to all of Georgia's metropolitan statistical areas, some benefited more than others and the recent slowing trend affected Georgia's metropolitan areas in different ways as well. Of course the Atlanta MSA grew at a phenomenal rate of 43.9% over the decade, with employment mushrooming from 1,528,800 in 1990 to 2,200,500 in 2000. Over the year however, Atlanta has not performed as well as in previous years. Atlanta's over-the-year growth rate of 2.8% is the lowest since MSA job growth in Y2K 3.0% 2.8% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.2% 0.3% 1.2% 1.0% 0.5% 1.5% 0.0% Albany Athe ns A tla nta Augus ta Columbus M acon S a v a nna h the recession in 1991, and this year's 59,200 new jobs in Atlanta pales in comparison to the 98,500 jobs created in 1999. Savannah posted the second largest employment growth over the year with 1.5%, or 2,000 new jobs. Overall employment has increased by 19.5% since 1990. Augusta ranks third among the metro areas in job growth this year with a growth rate of 1.2 percent, or 2,400 new jobs. Over the decade Augusta has experienced an 8.5% growth in employment. Columbus added 1,200 jobs over the year and posted a job growth rate of one percent compared to a whopping 22.5% growth rate over the decade. Macon added 800 jobs over the year, an increase of one-half a percentage point. Over the decade, Macon's payrolls have grown by 16.8%. Athens added only 200 jobs in 2000 and grew by only 0.3% over the year. However, over the decade Athens posted an impressive 23.3% job growth rate. Albany's nonfarm payrolls expanded by 0.2% over the year, adding only 100 new jobs and posted a 17.5% job growth rate over the decade. The slow job growth in Georgia appears to be partly due to weakness in Georgia's manufacturing sector and similar slowing nationwide. This weakness now seems to have slowed job growth in the non-manufacturing sector, although the effect took at least a half-year to occur. Of course, more recent changes have also had an impact. Higher interest rates slowed purchases of big-ticket consumer and business items that Georgia produces or distributes. Higher fuel prices in 2000 may have dampened tourism in Georgia and automobile sales and trucking as well. High fuel prices are also presenting a huge challenge to Georgia's energy-intensive companies such as those in the metals industry. Finally, the high value of the U.S. dollar, abundant foreign production, and price-competitive imports have put downward pressure on Georgia's manufacturing industries. Up to this point, Georgia's economy has achieved an orderly transition from robust growth to maintenance growth, but it is still thriving. National economic conditions almost always play a large role in state-level economic conditions. At this time, some analysts are still hoping for a "soft landing" and a more sustainable pace of national economic growth. However, recent economic news suggests that the "hard landing" scenario has gained some likelihood. Factors that will be important to Georgia's economy in 2001 include the value of the U.S. dollar as well as the strength of the Asian and Latin American financial markets. The continued strength of Georgia's economy is increasingly vulnerable to swings in the national economy. The severity, duration, and focus of a U.S. downturn are all variables that will affect the potential impact on Georgia.
