February 2010 Data
February 2010 Employment Situation
Georgia nonfarm payrolls were up 7,600 jobs in February. Increasing from a revised 3,777,600 total jobs in January to 3,785,200 in February, the 0.2 percent growth this month comes after two months of job declines. Over the month employment gains occurred in several industries including Leisure and Hospitality, Professional and Business Services, and Government. February losses transpired in employment sectors including Construction and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities. From February 2009 to February 2010, the lone employment sector displaying growth was Educational and Health Services. Sectors enduring the most job losses over the year were Manufacturing, Construction, and Trade, Transportation and Utilities.
Leisure and Hospitality positions were up 4,200 in February. The over-the-month gain comes after the sector lost 13,000 jobs in the previous 3 months combined. The January to February gain was due in large part to added workers in Food Services and Drinking Places. Professional and Business Services added 4,100 workers to its nonfarm payrolls over the month. Jobs in Accounting and Tax Preparation represent 1,900 of those added positions. Government positions increased by 3,800 in February as the Federal Government lost 900 workers, State Government added 2,300 payroll employees, and Local Government employment grew by 2,400.
Retail Trade employment was down 4,100 over the month while Wholesale Trade positions held steady and Transportation and Utilities cut 2,000 positions from its payrolls.
