November 2010 Data
November 2010 Employment Situation
In November, Georgia saw an over the month gain of 7,000 nonfarm jobs, an increase of 0.2 percent since October. This net increase resulted from a gain of 9,500 jobs in Service-Providing industries, which offset the loss of 2,500 jobs in Goods Producing industries. Since November 2009, total employment has decreased by 5,100 nonfarm jobs, an overall change of -0.1 percent. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose 0.3 percent over the month to 10.1 percent in November. This marked the third month over month increase for the year and the first rise since August. This is a slight improvement over November 2009 when the rate was 10.2 percent.
The increase in Service-Providing Industries was due to gains in the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities Sector (+6,300 jobs, +0.8 percent), which contains the Retail Trade industry (+5,500 jobs, +1.3 percent). This is a common trend at this time of the year as retailers hire workers for the holiday season. Impressive gains were also seen in Professional and Business Services (+5,000 jobs, +1.0 percent), while Educational and Health Services (+2,700 jobs, +0.6 percent) and Local Government (+2,300 jobs, +0.6 percent) also added positions. These gains offset the losses in Leisure and Hospitality (-5,600 jobs, -1.5 percent) and Financial Activities (-1,700, -0.9 percent). The decrease in the Goods Producing industries was caused by the loss of 2,500 Construction positions.
Over the year, the major sectors gaining employment were Professional and Business Services (+16,100 jobs), Educational and Health Services (+12,000 jobs), and Other Services (+2,100 jobs). The largest declines were seen in Construction (-10,700 jobs), followed by Financial Activities (-9,400 jobs), Government (-5,600 jobs), Manufacturing (-5,500 jobs), Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (-1,900 jobs), and Information (-1,600 jobs).
