Local unemployment rate decreases
Special to the Journal
The Georgia Department
of Labor reported this week
that the unemployment rate
in the metro Macon area
- which includes Houston
County - declined to 4.5
percent in November, down
seven-tenths of one per
cent from 5.2 percent in
October.
Meanwhile, the state’s
unemployment rate declined
to 4.2 percent in November,
down one-half of one per
cent from 4.7 percent in
October and two-tenths of
one percent from 4.4 percent
in November of 2006. The
current state rate is three
tenths of one percent lower
than the U.S. unadjusted
rate of 4.5 percent.
The state’s rate decreased
in November because the
number of people unem
ployed declined by 21,675,
due, in part, to temporary
holiday hiring in the retail
trade industry.
From October to
November, preliminary
data show Georgia added
12,600 payroll jobs. In metro
Macon, the number of jobs
was up 500, or one-half of
one percent, from 101,800 to
102,300.
Georgia labor market data
are not seasonally adjusted
