This represents 4,000 fewer positions since 2007 when employment levels were at their peak. The loss of 1,200 jobs over the past year was caused mostly by the shed of 1,100 positions in Manufacturing. Service-Providing industries grew slightly from their levels in 2009, as they added 200 positions this year. Total Government remained flat as the gain of 200 Federal positions were offset by the loss of 200 Local Government jobs. The combined losses of the previous two years have brought employment levels in the Athens MSA to a level not seen since 2005. The gains seen during the middle of the decade have been nearly wiped out. Declines in Goods-Producing industries again hurt the region with a net loss of 700 positions. Service-Providing industries were up 100 positions over the year while Government employment remained flat.

Even though the losses in 2010 (-31,500 jobs) were nowhere near as bad as in 2009 (-136,600 jobs), these losses have completely depleted the gains seen during the previous four years. Construction losses continued to mount as another 10,200 positions were shed over the year. The two major sectors that showed positive job growth in 2010 were Education and Health Services (+5,900 positions) and Professional and Business Services (+3,600 jobs). The Augusta MSA was one of only four MSAs statewide to show positive employment growth in 2010. The addition of 900 positions over the year were due to large gains in Professional and Business Services (+1,500 jobs) and Education and Health Services (+700 jobs) which helped to offset the loss of 700 positions in the Manufacturing sector. Five hundred Federal positions along with the losses of 200 State and 300 Local Government positions kept the overall level of government in the area the same from 2009 to 2010.

The largest decline occurred in the Financial Activities sector which lost a total of 300 jobs. 3,000 1,500 700 0 -1,200 -1,500 -3,000 -4,500 -6,000 -7,500 2003 2004 Dalton MSA 1,100 1,500 -1,200 -4,500 -7,200 -500 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Gainesville MSA 5,500 3,500 2,800 2,100 3,000 3,700 1,500 500 -500 500 600 -6,200 -2,500 -4,500 -6,500 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 The Dalton MSA has lost a total of 13,400 positions since 2006, including 500 in 2010. Goods-Producing led the decline, dropping 1,200 jobs during 2010. The losses suffered in Textile Product Mills (-300 jobs) contributed to the loss of 1,100 jobs in the Manufacturing sector. The Service-Providing sector was able to lend some relief by adding 1,000 jobs with gains in the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sector (+300 jobs). The Federal Government added 100 jobs while the State and Local Government combined to lose 300 positions during the past year. The Gainesville MSA (+600 jobs) was one of only four MSAs statewide to post a gain during 2010. The 600 positions were the result of 1,700 additional jobs in Service-Providing Industries and the loss of 1,100 jobs in Goods-Producing Industries. The annual job gain was a nice comeback for the area after losing 6,200 jobs during 2009. Retail Trade, along with the Federal Government added 100 positions during the year. Local Government posted a loss of 100 positions in 2010.

This was the result of gaining 500 Goods-Producing jobs and the loss of 200 Service Providing jobs. Federal Government added 200 positions during the past year and comprises more than 20 percent of all positions in the area. This proportion has enabled the area to continue positive growth even during the major recession during the past three years. 2,300 1,000 1,200 1,000 -300 Macon MSA 0 -500 100 700 -5,200 -1,400 -1,600 -2,900 -4,200 -5,500 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 The Macon MSA has lost a total of 6,600 positions since 2008 including 1,400 during the past year.

This marked the fifth straight year the area has lost jobs. The 4,800 jobs cut from payrolls during that five year period represent the loss of one out of every ten jobs in the area.

More specifically, the Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program is a cooperative agreement between the federal and state governments designed to collect reports on mass layoff actions resulting in workers being separated from their jobs. Monthly mass layoff numbers are from establishments that have at least 50 initial claims for unemployment insurance (UI) filed against them during a 5-week period. Extended mass layoff numbers (issued quarterly) are from a subset of such establishments--where private sector nonfarm employers indicate that 50 or more workers were separated from their jobs for at least 31 days. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics works with the Georgia Department of Labor to produce Georgia related MLS data. In 2010, Georgia's Mass Layoff Statistics program saw its largest year-over-year decrease in confirmed events since 1996. Mass layoffs fell from a high of 133 in 2009 to 76 in 2010. In both years, the first and second quarters endured the most confirmed events. Total initial claims for unemployment insurance from mass layoff events dropped from 2009 to 2010. They decreased from a high of 38,147 in 2009 to 14,063 in 2010. In 2009, about 24,600 (64 percent) of the 38,147 claims were filed in quarters one and two of that year. In 2010, about 8,900 (63 percent) of the 14,063 claims filed were in the first half of the year.

Manufacturing accounted for 39 percent of all mass layoff events in 2010 (most of any industry), which were down from the record 50 percent of all events reached in 2009. Looking deeper into the numbers, it is revealed that initial claims due to mass layoff events in Manufacturing accounted for 48 percent of all mass layoff claims in 2010, down considerably from 67 percent in 2009. More specifically, confirmed event claims in Manufacturing's Textile Mill industry comprised 45 percent of all confirmed manufacturing claims, up one percent from 2009, but down a total of 7,100 claims for the year. Administrative and Support Services accounted for nine percent of the events in Source: Georgia Department of Labor, Workforce Statistics & Economic Research 37 Georgia Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) Claimant Characteristics Gender 100% 2009 2010 80% 60% 40% 55% 49% 44% 49% 20% 0% 100% 75% Male Female Race 2009 2010 2010 and eight percent in 2009 while confirmed mass layoff events in Wholesale Trade comprised eight percent of the total in 2010 and 13 percent in 2009. As confirmed layoff events and the claims from these events showed proportionality (in terms of percent) in industry breakouts from 2009 to 2010, the characteristics of these individuals filing claims shifted significantly in some areas. Males in 2009 were more likely to be affected by a layoff as they filed 55 percent of the initial claims from a confirmed event (44 percent female). In 2010, the number of women filing claims due to a confirmed event grew five percentage points as a proportion of overall claims, while the number of men filing fell six percentage points. As a result, women and men were equally likely to be affected by a confirmed event as 49 percent of claims filed were by women and men (while two percent did not provide gender information). 50% 47% 40% 52% 43% 25% 0% White 5% 4% African-American Hispanic Origin 3% 2% Other 100% 75% Age 2009 2010 50% 25% 18% 18% 38% 36% 27% 27% 17% 19% 0% Less than 30 30-44 45-54 55 and Older Note: Data may not add due to rounding. A shift in claim filings due to a confirmed mass layoff event was also seen in claimant's race or ethnicity. In 2009, Whites or Caucasians filed 47 percent of all claims due to a confirmed event while AfricanAmericans accounted for 43 percent of filings. Individuals of Hispanic origin constituted five percent of claimants from confirmed events and those in the Other category comprised three percent. The year 2010 saw a shift as the number of claims Caucasians filed due to a confirmed event fell seven percentage points to 40 percent. African-Americans comprised 52 percent of all claims filed in 2010 due to confirmed mass layoff events which was up nine percentage points from 2009. Individuals of Hispanic origin were consistent, making up about four percent of all claims while the Other category made up about two percent. In terms of age, there was not much change in the percentage of people filing claims. In 2009 and 2010 those ages 30-44 filed more claims (a little less than 40 percent in both years) than the other age caveats. Georgians less than 30 and those ages 44-54 had no change in the percentage of filings from 2009 to 2010. 38 Source: Georgia Department of Labor, Workforce Statistics & Economic Research Georgia Department of Labor Workforce Statistics & Economic Research 148 Andrew Young International Boulevard, N.E.
