Revised estimates for 2012-- 2013 in this issue
Annual 2013 Employment Situation
Georgia payroll employment increased 78,500 in 2013, an over the year growth rate of 2.0 percent. There are now a total of 4,033,400 nonfarm jobs in Georgia. The state has now shown employment growth and unemployment rate declines in each of the last three years. The annual average job gains in 2013 come after the state added 40,200 and 53,500 jobs in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Though the addition of 172,200 jobs in the aforementioned three years combined are good news, the job losses incurred in 2008, 2009, and 2010 totaling 306,000 positions cut from payrolls have yet to be offset. With the exception of job losses in Government, all major sectors added workers in 2013. Sectors with the most employment growth were Professional and Business Services, Leisure and Hospitality, and Education and Health Services.
The unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) in Georgia is down eight-tenths of a percentage point over the year and has been steadily declining for the last several years. The rate dropped to 8.2 percent in 2013 from 9.0 percent in 2012. In 2011 the unemployment rate was 9.9 percent and before that it topped out at 10.2 percent in 2010.
Total Private Average Hourly Earnings in Georgia were up $0.72 over the year as hourly wages increased from $21.75 in 2012 to $22.47 in 2013. Total Private Average Weekly Hours grew from 2012 to 2013 with Georgians working 35.0 hours per week in 2012 and 35.2 hours per week in 2013. Total Private Average Weekly Earnings were up $29.69 in the states as wages moved from $761.25 in 2012 to $790.94 in 2013.

The 1,200 jobs gained in 2013 were a result of Repair and Maintenance adding 1,200 workers and the 400 jobs created in Personal and Laundry Services being offset by the 400 positions cut in Religious, Civic, and Similar Organizations.
The number of Government jobs in Georgia dropped by 4,100 in 2013 after being down 1,600 in 2012 and falling 11,900 in 2011; the sector has now contracted for five consecutive years, shedding 29,300 jobs over the span.

With 100 jobs added in 2013, the Albany MSA saw its first over-the-year job growth since 2007. Total employment in the MSA remains 3,900 positions short of its 2007 high. The modest over-the-year job gains occurred as Private Sector employment growth, including Manufacturing (+100 jobs), was tempered by Government job losses.

The Athens MSA added jobs for the third year in a row in 2013, showing an increase of 1,700 positions over the year; though employment remains below its 2008 peak. The over-the-year growth was driven by Private Service-Providing industries, including a second year of growth for Trade, Transportation, and Utilities as well as a third year of job gains for Leisure and Hospitality. Government employment stayed flat over the year.

Both Goods-Producing and Private Service-Providing industries had over-the-year employment increases, with sectors such as Trade, Transportation, and Utilities adding jobs. Government employment declined in 2013, following two years of growth.

Having gone 21 straight years without job losses, a second year of decreases in Federal Government employment largely led to the first overall loss of jobs in the Warner Robins MSA in over two decades. The 400 jobs lost in the MSA in 2013 came from Private Service-Providing industry employment gains being offset by large cuts in Federal Government jobs and a sixth year of losses in Goods-Producing sectors.
