December sees increase in unemployment across in South Georgia

The Georgia Department of Labor has today that unemployment claims declined across most of Georgia’s regional commissions in December. However, unemployment was up in the Southern Georgia Regional Commission coverage area.

“Georgia means business,” said GDOL Interim Successor Louis DeBroux. “With historic job growth nearing 5 million and unemployment rates outperforming the national average, Georgia is well on the way to making history. By expanding opportunities for all Georgians and attracting top-tier companies to every corner of the state, our story continues to be one of resilience and sustained economic success for the people and businesses that call the Peach State home.”

Please see a synopsis of the Southern Georgia Regional Commission below:

Southern Georgia


  • The unemployment rate was up three-tenths to 3.9 percent over-the-month, the rate was 3.1 percent one year ago.
  • The labor force was down 1,302 over-the-month and up 4,896 over-the-year, to 183,892.
  • The number of employed was down 1,771 over-the-month and up 3,248 over-the-year, to 176,776.
  • Initial claims were up 884 over-the-month and up 907 over-the-year, to 1,866.
