Georgia Jobs Lost, Unemployment Remains Flat

The bad news is that more Georgia jobs were lost last month, but the relatively good news is that the state's unemployment rate remained steady.

During September, Georgia's unemployment rate remained at 10.1 percent, which is slightly higher than the national unemployment rate of 9.8 percent. This is a change from August, when the state's unemployment rate decreased from 10.3 percent to 10.1 percent.

Georgia had a total non-farm employment of 3,838,100 workers during September, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is down from 3,853,600 workers during August and a 6 percent decrease from last year.
