February 2015 Data
February 2015 Employment Situation
Payroll employment in Georgia jumped by 25,400 in February as the unemployment rate decreased to 6.3 percent, its eighth consecutive month of improvement. Employment sectors with job gains from January to February include Leisure and Hospitality, Trade, Transportation, and Utilities, Education and Health Services, and Professional and Business Services. Other Services and Manufacturing lost jobs over the month.
After being down 800 in January, Leisure and Hospitality added 6,300 jobs in February. Trade, Transportation, and Utilities added 6,200 workers in February with Retail Trade (+5,300 jobs) accounting for most of the gain. Government jobs were up 2,300 this month as federal positions declined by 300, state jobs grew by 1,600, and local government employment grew by 1,000. After holding steady last month, Education and Health Services employment was up 4,200 in February with both Education Services and Health Care and Social Assistance making almost equivalent strides of job growth. Professional and Business Services added 3,600 jobs this month after losing 4,700 jobs last month.
Other Services saw employment go down 900 this February, the first job decline in the sector since February last year. Manufacturing employment also decreased in February. Down 800 jobs over the month, manufacturing has now declined for only the second time in the last 21 months.
Over the year, Georgia has added 157,400 jobs to its economy.
