Georgia Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson announced today that unemployment rates increased in nearly all regions of the state during October, except for the Three Rivers Regional Commission.

“While most regions across Georgia experienced a slight uptick in unemployment, our state continues to lead the way with an unemployment rate well below the national average,” said Commissioner Bruce Thompson. “As job growth slows across the nation, Georgia’s resilience shines through—driven by commonsense policies that prioritize opportunity, growth, and a workforce ready to lead. This stability proves that Georgia’s economy is built not just to withstand challenges but to thrive for generations to come.”

Please see a synopsis of the Southern Regional Commission below:


  • The unemployment rate was up four-tenths to 3.9 percent over-the-month, the rate was 3.3 percent one year ago.
  • The labor force was up 2,430 over-the-month and up 5,657 over-the-year, to 185,540.
  • The number of employed was up 1,680 over-the-month and up 4,451 over-the-year, to 178,382, an all-time High.
  • Initial claims were up 2,254 over-the-month and up 2,223 over-the-year, to 2,874.
