August 2010 Data
August 2010 Employment Situation
In August, Georgia saw an over the month increase of 17,800 nonfarm jobs, an increase of 0.5 percent over July. This net gain resulted from an increase of 19,000 jobs in Service-Providing Industries and a loss of 1,200 jobs in Goods-Producing Industries. However, employment levels have decreased by 26,700 nonfarm jobs since August 2009, representing an overall change of -0.7 percent. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased for the first time in four months going from 9.9 percent in July to 10.0 percent in August. This is the same rate as was seen in August 2009.
The start of school in August had a positive impact on several sectors. Strong employment gains were seen for the Government and Education and Health Services sectors with Local Government Education adding 9,100 jobs (3.8 percent increase over July), State Government Education adding 6,100 jobs (7.5 percent increase over July), and Educational Services adding 2,100 jobs (2.3 percent increase over July). Also performing well was the Health Care and Social Services sector gaining 5,800 jobs 4,000 of which were in Social Assistance.
Over the month, the Federal Government lost the most positions decreasing by 3,700 jobs. The Information and Financial Activities sectors were also down 900 and 1,000 jobs, respectively. Manufacturing continued to lose jobs posting a net loss of 800 positions since July. The Construction sector, which had seen four consecutive month over month increases, lost 700 jobs in August, a decline of 0.5 percent.
Over the year, the major sectors gaining employment were the Education and Health Services (+11,500 jobs), Leisure and Hospitality (+10,100 jobs), and the Professional and Business Services (+4,000 jobs) sectors. The largest declines were seen in Manufacturing (-15,800 jobs), followed by Financial Activities (-14,900 jobs), Construction (-9,000 jobs), and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (-8,400 jobs).

New Developments
Great Dane Limited Partnership has announced plans to build a new refrigerated trailer plant in Bulloch County. The Statesboro plant, in its first phase, will encompass 450,000 square feet, including office and show room space and will have the capacity to produce 5,000 plus trailers annually. At that level of production, the facility will employ more than 400 people. The new facility will serve the traditional Great Dane customer base. The manufacturing processes will feature the latest technology in its foaming methods and automation of key production operations making this the most modern, efficient plant in the world. Construction for the new plant is slated to begin in 2011 with a projected completion in 2012.
Floyd County has received confirmation that a Californiabased tax software firm, Petz Enterprises, will locate a southeastern regional office in Rome. The company has not announced publicly how many people it will hire initially, but in a similar move into the state of Washington they started with 25 new employees. Their initial location will be small, but they will try to find a larger facility before tax season starts. The business was founded in 1964 and started off in the accounting business but began to specialize in processing tax information in the 1980's. Crosslink is the company's professional tax software product.
A new restaurant will open in Floyd County in September and employee training is already taking place at other locations. The new Steak N' Shake on Turner-McCall Boulevard will hire around 110 people for its opening. The franchise owners also own the franchise rights to open a store in Athens, but they don't plan to move forward with that location until the Rome store is up and running.
An Israeli software company is relocating its headquarters to Fulton County. The region's low cost of doing business and its reputation as a travel industry hub swayed Truvle Ltd to choose Atlanta. The company uses technology to help brick and mortar travel agencies, hotel chains, and airlines better compete with online booking sites, such as Orbitz and Travelocity. Over the next two years they expect the employee total to reach 30. The company makes flight itineraries more functional for example by populating a hotel reservation confirmation email with current weather updates, a list of local restaurants and embedded links for making reservations along with other pertinent information.
In Bibb County a company's expansion plans are actually a two-fold benefit. First Quality Baby Products had decided they need to look for additional manufacturing square footage, but local officials in the Macon area
worked for almost a year to convince the company to expand locally instead of moving. The result is a $200 million expansion investment by the diaper manufacturer over the next eight years that will not only create 150 new jobs but will also save the jobs of the company's existing 222 employees. The construction on the new $35 million building will begin almost immediately.
The northern Metro Atlanta area will benefit from JPMorgan Chase & Company's plans to open ten new bank branches across the area. Eight of the ten branches are already under construction. Additionally, the company plans to open another 35 branches through 2012 which will mean 350 new jobs in the next two years. The company is making an effort to have a stronger presence in the Atlanta market that it entered in 2008 when it acquired the failed bank Washington Mutual.
The new Wal-Mart Supercenter on the east side of Albany on Clark Avenue will be opening in 2011. This will add some 400 new jobs in Dougherty County. The new retail establishment will also generate about $2.2 million annually in sales tax.
An expansion of a Gwinnett County warehouse facility will create 15 to 20 new jobs. Prime Distribution Services, Inc. is a leading provider of warehousing, multi-vendor pool consolidation and transportation management services that handles more than 800 million pounds of freight per year. The company's expanding Norcross location restructures the supply chain for customers by offering consolidation alternatives versus less-than-truckload shipping.
In Whitfield County new jobs are being created directly by the Georgia Department of Labor. The state agency will open an office of Disability Adjudication Services in Dalton at 500 Walnut Avenue employing up to 45 people including supervisors, hearing officers, adjudicators and their associates, help-desk specialists, program associates and assistants. The funding for these positions has been provided by the federal government.
In the month of October the Wachovia Bank branches and the company's tower at Atlantic Station will be rebranded under its corporate parent, Wells Fargo & Company. Unlike most consolidations that produce job losses this merger is creating new jobs. The company plans to add 500 employees in Georgia and 300 of those will be placed in the branch network in an effort to gain a larger market share.
