January 2011 Data
January 2011 Employment Situation
In January, Georgia saw an over the month decrease of 68,800 nonfarm jobs, a decrease of 1.8 percent from December. This resulted from the loss of 60,100 jobs in Service-Providing Industries, combined with the loss of 8,700 jobs in Goods-Producing Industries. Since January 2010, total employment levels have increased by 2,200 nonfarm jobs, an overall change of 0.1 percent. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained the same for the third consecutive month at 10.4 percent. January marked the 40th consecutive month Georgia has exceeded the national unemployment rate. This is the same level that the rate held a year ago in January 2010.
The only sector that gained positions over the month was Manufacturing (1,300 jobs, 0.4 percent). Much of the losses can be attributed to the normal seasonal decreases seen after the holiday as well as the ice storm that shut down most of northern Georgia for several days. The Trade, Transportation and Utilities sector suffered the most losing 23,900 jobs (-0.8 percent), the Retail Trade industry (-15,600 jobs, -3.5 percent) is within this sector. Heavy losses were also seen in the Leisure and Hospitality (-11,600 jobs, -3.1 percent), Professional and Business Services (-10,900 jobs, -2.1 percent), and Construction (-10,000 jobs, -7.1 percent) sectors.
Over the year, the major sectors gaining employment were Professional and Business Services (+19,000 jobs), Education and Health Services (+12,700 jobs), Manufacturing (+4,200 jobs), Leisure and Hospitality (+2,300 jobs), Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (+2,100 jobs) and Other Services (+1,400 jobs). The largest declines were seen in Construction (-18,100 jobs), followed by Government (-13,100 jobs), Financial Activities (-7,500 jobs), and Information (-700 jobs).

New Developments
Beachview Tent Rental, Inc., a company that provides temporary structures, tents, catering and equipment for weddings, sporting events, corporate functions and disaster relief, is moving its corporate headquarters to Camden County. The company has leased 30,000 square feet of an existing building in Camden County Industrial Park in Kingsland. The consolidation of their Jacksonville, FL and Brunswick offices will bring 45 new jobs to the local area. They will also add about 30 additional temporary employees to accommodate seasonal demands.
Forsyth County's shopping center, The Avenue Forsyth, will soon add a sporting goods store to their list of offerings. Academy Sports & Outdoors will bring 150 new jobs to the Cumming shopping center. The company plans to build a retail structure of 71,796 square feet.
The IT Headquarters of a German-based company is moving to Fulton County. ThyssenKrupp IT Services North America will locate their new facility in Alpharetta and are planning to fill 110 new positions. The company already has five divisions in Georgia, including an elevator products manufacturing operation that is also located in Alpharetta. They plan to invest $30 million in the new addition. Jobs will include help desk support, network engineers, project managers, telecom engineers, data center managers and Microsoft Windows support.
A new distillery will soon begin production in Jones County. Georgia Distilling Company, located near Haddock, plans to eventually offer a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. They will start out with ten employees, but expect to have between 50 and 100 working at their facility within three to five years.
The Salvation Army's Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center is moving closer to opening its doors in the historic Harrisburg section of Augusta. The $100 million Richmond County structure could be completed as early as June of this year with a scheduled dedication in mid July and doors opening to the public in mid August. Located along the Augusta Canal, the campus will have one main building that includes a 400-seat performing arts theater and worship hall. The facility will also contain a 270-seat community hall with a stage for a dinner theater, an indoor aquatics center with water slide, a basket-
ball court, exercise facilities and classrooms for art, music, educational and recreational programs. Once operational the center plans to hire 110 workers.
A major pet food manufacturer is coming to Toombs County. U. S. Pet, a subsidiary of Thai Union Frozen Products, has signed a contract to locate their new gourmet pet food operation in the Toombs Corporate Center in Lyons. Initially the new operation will begin in the same building as Chicken of the Sea and either expand the existing building or build another facility as the need arises. The company will hire 150 people and invest $25 million into the project.
By the year 2014 Dollar Tree plans to nearly double the amount of merchandise that it imports through Savannah. The company plans to grow its center in Chatham County from 600,000 square feet to one million square feet to accommodate the increase in the flow of goods. This $18 million investment will result in 68 new jobs for the coastal community.
The expansion of Chase Bank in the metro Atlanta market will continue at a rapid pace and will add new locations designated initially in Cherokee, Forsyth, Fulton and Gwinnett Counties. The company is investing $24 million in order to open a dozen new branch offices. These new locations will add 170 new jobs and raise the total of branches in metro Atlanta to 74 by the end of 2011. Additionally, they plan to open about ten branches per year for the next several years. Five of this year's new branches will be located in Buckhead, Canton, Cumming, Lawrenceville and Roswell.
Another financial newcomer is attempting to gain a larger foothold in metro Atlanta. Fifth Third Bank plans to increase its local presence by raising their branch numbers from 22 to 130 by 2014. Their emphasis will be on locations inside Kroger stores.
In Gwinnett County a German company that makes hardware for kitchen cabinets, residential furniture and appliances is expanded their U. S. operations. Hettich America LP will add 100 new jobs in their recently opened 150,000 square foot facility in Buford. They expect to add additional positions in the coming years.
