Georgia Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson said Thursday that all of Georgia’s Regional Commissions reported a decline in July unemployment rates.

 

“Georgia’s labor market continues to stand strong as a beacon of hope and prosperity,” said Commissioner Bruce Thompson. “With low unemployment and plentiful job opportunities, local communities are thriving and showcasing remarkable resilience in the face of economic uncertainty.”

 

 

The labor force rose in the Atlanta, Coastal Georgia, Georgia Mountains, Middle Georgia, Northwest Georgia, and Three Rivers Regional Commissions.

Employment was up in the Atlanta, Central Savannah River, Coastal Georgia, Georgia Mountains, Middle Georgia, Northeast Georgia, Northwest Georgia, River Valley, and Three Rivers Regional Commissions.
