Metro Atlanta achieves record-breaking job growth in November

The Georgia Department of Labor announced Thursday that Atlanta recorded an unemployment rate of 3.5% in November, unchanged from a revised 3.5% in October. A year ago, the rate was 2.8%

“Georgia proves that smart leadership and bold policies drive economic success,” said GDOL Emergency Interim Successor Louis DeBroux. “While other states struggle with overregulation and economic uncertainty, Georgia’s economy is thriving — job numbers are up in 12 regions, unemployment claims are down across the board, and businesses continue to choose our state as the best place to grow and invest. These results don’t happen by accident; they are the product of strong fiscal policies and a commitment to empowering job creators and hard-working Georgians. As we close out the year, Georgia remains a perennial leader in opportunity, innovation and prosperity.”
