Sectors with the most employment growth were Professional and Business Services, Leisure and Hospitality, and Education and Health Services.

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.

Adding a combined total of 47,600 jobs, Professional and Business Services, Leisure and Hospitality, Education and Health Services, and Trade, Transportation and Utilities led the major sectors in over-the-year employment growth. Meanwhile, after shedding 2,000 jobs in 2012, Government employment declined by 2,800 in 2013, led by losses in Local Government (-2,500 jobs). There were 1,600 jobs gained in the Augusta MSA in 2013. The MSA has now added positions for the fourth year in a row though employment remains below a 2007 peak of 219,000 jobs. The Leisure and Hospitality sector, adding 1,300 payroll positions, led the way in job growth in 2013. The Government sector lost jobs in 2013 as federal and state positions were cut and local positions held steady.

Over-the-year gains in Goods-Producing industries were overshadowed by losses in Private Service-Providing and Government sectors. HinesvilleFort Stewart was one of only three MSAs statewide (out of 14) that saw declines in employment in 2013. Macon MSA 2,000 1,000 0 800 100 1,200 1,200 600 -1,000 -500 -2,000 -1,000 -3,000 -4,000 -5,000 -6,000 2006 2007 2008 -5,200 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Employment in the Macon MSA increased for the third year in a row in 2013, adding 600 jobs over the year.

Government declines in 2013 came as Federal Government losses offset gains in Local Government.

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.
