Georgia Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson stated last week that all of Georgia’s Regional Commissions saw a slight increase in January unemployment rates.

“Georgia’s January unemployment rate hit its lowest point in over a year,” said Commissioner Thompson. “This speaks volumes about our state’s economic resilience and ability to lead when times get tough. Regionally, we are seeing a slight seasonal uptick in January unemployment, but Georgia continues to be forward-thinking in its policy decisions and focus on sustainable economic growth. While we may see some softening of the economy over the coming months, Georgia is in a better position than most to overcome any challenges heading our way.”

Please see a synopsis of the Southern Georgia Regional Commission, to which Coffee County belongs, below:

Southern Georgia

The unemployment rate was up three-tenths to 3.4 percent over-the-month, the rate was 3.8 percent one year ago.

  • The labor force was down 192 over-the-month and up 1,406 over-the-year, to 178,804.
  • The number of employed was down 762 over-the-month and up 2,032 over-the-year, to 172,766.
  • Initial claims were up 596 (62%) over-the-month and down 351 (-18%) over-the-year, to 1,555.
