Revised estimates for 2003 -- 2004 in this issue Annual 2004 Employment Situation After 3 years of job losses, the 2004 employment situation in Georgia proved to be much more positive than in recent history. Annual 2004 data have revealed that the state created 45,000 new jobs over-the-year. This is a refreshing realization since various other indicators gauging the economic well-being of the state had shown signs of recovery months ago, whereas, job creation was still stagnant. With job gains from 2003 to 2004, Georgia's job creation economic indicator can join those like housing starts, state revenue collections, and commercial construction in showing the state is now moving in a positive direction. 2004 data show that Georgia currently has 3,889,900 total workers on payrolls throughout the state. About 85 percent of those total jobs are in metropolitan statistical areas (MSA). With several newly designated metropolitan statistical areas, Georgia now has 14 MSAs (plus several counties part of the Chattanooga, TN MSA). In 2004, about 17 percent of the jobs in the state were in the "Goods Producing" sector and about 83 percent were in the "Service Providing" sector.

As the total number of jobs in the state increased over-the-year, Manufacturing jobs dropped by 6,800 workers. Nationally, the number of factory jobs is still on the decline and so is it in Georgia. There were 452,000 manufacturing jobs in 2003 and 445,200 in 2004. Manufacturing hours and earnings data show that from 2003 to 2004, Average Weekly Earnings changed from $560.38 to $569.58, Average Weekly Hours went from 39.8 to 39.2, and Average Hourly Earnings changed from $14.08 to $14.53.

Georgia "Goods Producing" Industry Sector Employment (2003 and 2004 Employment) 500,000 450,000 2003 2004 452,000 445,200 400,000 350,000 300,000 250,000 200,000 195,000 198,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 12,300 12,200 Natural Res & Mining Construction Manufacturing The Manufacturing sector continues to suffer. As stated earlier, total jobs in Georgia factories were down 6,800 from 2003 to 2004. Most of the decline in jobs was in the Non-Durable Goods industry. Employment in Non-Durable Goods, which includes Food Manufacturing, Textile Mills, and Paper Manufacturing, was down 5,800 over-theyear and Durable Goods endured a drop of 1,000 payroll employees. The Trade, Transportation and Utilities sector added 3,400 employees to payrolls in 2004. Wholesale Trade employment was up 2,000 over-theyear.

Jobs in Georgia's Information sector have been steadily declining over the past several years and 2004 was no different. Over-the-year, the Information sector lost 4,900 positions. The decrease in jobs in the sector is across most industries. Internet Service Providers, Search Portals, & Data Processing industry lost 1,100 workers. The Telecommunications industry dropped a total 1,900 jobs. Dropping 2,300 payroll employees in 2004, Wired Telecommunications Carriers accounted for the overall employment loss in the Telecommunications industry. Wireless Telecommunications Carriers, which added 800 jobs, were a silver lining for the industry and sector as a whole. Over the year, employers in the Financial Activities sector increased their payrolls by 1,900 workers. The Finance and Insurance industry added 1,000 jobs. The Real Estate, Rental, and Leasing industry picked up an additional 800 workers over-the-year.

The three industries comprising this sector all gained jobs from 2003 to 2004. The Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services industry created 800 jobs; the Management of Companies & Enterprises industry added 1,300 workers; and the Administrative Support, Waste Management & Georgia "Service Providing" Industry Sector Employment (2003 and 2004 Employment) Trade, Transp., & Utilities Information Financial Activities 123,400 118,500 216,400 218,300 Prof. & Bus.

estimates were prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, based upon monthly reports submitted by selected employers in the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Jasper, Lamer, Meriwether, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Pike, Rockdale, Spalding and Walton counties. The estimates include all full- and part-time wage and salary workers who were employed during or received pay for any part of the pay period that includes the twelfth of the month. Proprietors, domestic workers, self-employed persons, unpaid family workers and personnel of the armed forces are excluded. Estimates based on 2004 benchmark.

Nationally, this increases the number of metropolitan areas published by the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program from 274 to approximately 400. In Georgia, the number of MSAs has doubled, thus CES will expand its estimates from 7 to 14 MSAs. Below are the counties that comprise each of Georgia's MSAs.
