February 2011 Data
February 2011 Employment Situation
In February, Georgia saw an over the month addition of 25,100 nonfarm jobs, an increase of 0.7 percent from January. The employment growth resulted from 18,600 jobs added in Service-Providing Industries, combined with the gain of 6,500 jobs in Goods-Producing Industries. Since February 2010, total employment levels have increased by 13,400 nonfarm jobs, an overall change of 0.4 percent. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from 10.3 percent in January to 10.2 percent in February 2011. This month marks the 41st consecutive month that Georgia has exceeded the national unemployment rate.
Employment gains were seen across all major sectors except for Information (-1,500 jobs, -1.5 percent) and Financial Activities (-300 jobs, -0.2 percent). Leading the way was Construction (+5,800 jobs, +4.5 percent), Education and Health Services (+5,800 jobs, +1.2 percent), and Professional and Business Services (+5,400 jobs, +1.0 percent). Sectors also seeing significant over the month gains were the Leisure and Hospitality (+3,600 jobs, +1.0 percent) and Other Services (+3,300 jobs, +2.2 percent) sectors. Government employment rose by 2,000 over the month due to gains in Local Government (+3,300 jobs, +0.8 percent) and Federal Government (+400 jobs, +0.4 percent), which offset the loss of 1,700 positions in State Government.
Over the month, the Valdosta MSA was the only area to lose employment with an estimated loss of 100 total jobs. The Atlanta MSA posted the largest over the month gain of 16,400 positions since January; however it remains 3,900 less than the same time a year ago.

New Developments
Walmart will be opening a new store in Dougherty County and has already started the initial hiring process. The new East Albany location will result in approximately 200 new jobs for the local area. There will be an actual need for 250 to 300 people at the new store, but the company is expecting 70 of the jobs to be filled by employees from the Camilla store.
Gwinnett County will be the location for the new FedEx Ground distribution center that will be their fourth such center in metro Atlanta. The company will invest $55 million to build a 215,000 square foot facility on Atlantic Avenue near Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross. Eventually this location will employ 550 people with an additional 175 independent contractors. The new center is slated to open in the fall of 2012.
The first U. S. venture of a German-based company will be in Hart County. SD Automotive Group, a designer and manufacturer of precision machine tools will locate their new facility in Hartwell. The company will employ 25 workers in a 50,000 square foot plant in the Hart County Industrial Park on Highway 29. The machine tools that the company produces are marketed in the automotive manufacturing sector along with the plastics manufacturing sector.
A new military uniform distribution center has opened in Jackson County and around 25 new jobs will be created. Lion-Vallen Industries opened the 265,000 square foot facility on Bonnie Valentine Way in Pendergrass. Eventually they plan to increase their staff up to 50 to 75 workers who will distribute uniforms and equipment to virtually all American troops. This center is the primary location for U. S. Army uniforms and clothing items under a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support.
Ingles Markets, Inc. of North Carolina will build the largest supermarket in their chain of 200 plus stores in Madison County. The company plans to start construction of the 105,000 square foot store this summer. It is located on Highway 29 in Hull and is about one-third larger than the Ingles store it is replacing. The new store is expected to add 10 to 15 more employees and include a bank and a pharmacy.
An accounting and tax software firm that also provides training and research to more than 45,000 small professional firms throughout the U. S. is expanding in Cobb County. By means of consolidating some of their offices in Florida and Maine, CCH
Small Firm Services will increase the employment at their Kennesaw location by 200. The process is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.
By 2013 a video game developer will hire 150 new employees after they move their North American headquarters from Gwinnett County to DeKalb County. CCP Games is based in Iceland and will move its 150 existing employees to Decatur to a 40,000 square foot office on East Ponce de Leon. After the move is completed the company will begin hiring their new employees. These white collar jobs will pay about $55,000 per year.
The new venture by ZF Industries is taking shape in Hall County. The automotive parts manufacturer is branching into the clean energy market with its new subsidiary, ZF Wind Power. The new business will manufacture gear shift boxes for the wind turbines in Gainesville. Georgia's Quick Start program will assist in hiring and training the 250 employees needed to operate the company's new $96 million facility. Due to the uniqueness of this product specialized training has to be developed which is the Quick Start program's forte. It will take massive equipment to produce the 15 ton gear boxes. So, during the eight month process of setting up the plant most of the equipment will be delivered at night so as not to disrupt traffic.
In Houston County Robins Air Force Base is in the process of hiring almost 500 new employees. They are looking for aircraft maintenance personnel for the 402nd Maintenance Wing. The new hires will be working on aircraft such as the F15, C-5, C-17 and C-130.
Pratt & Whitney is adding 180 new manufacturing jobs to its Muscogee County workforce. The company is expanding their engine center in Columbus to be able to service their F117 engines that are used on the C-17 Globemaster III military cargo aircraft.
In Richmond County Swedish appliance maker, Electrolux is expanding its customer call center. The Augusta economy will benefit with the addition of 225 full time jobs by the end of 2013. The company will relocate to an existing building in National Hills Shopping Center and spend $2.5 million to modify the structure to their specifications. The new facility is expected to be ready for business in September of this year.
