“The 5.5 per cent
unemployment rate for the
state is the lowest that it has
been for 38 months. Couple
this with the fact that the
national unemployment
insurance extended benefits
program has been phased out
in Georgia, as a result of a
declining insured
unemployment rate, and you
have an improving economic
situation and employment
picture in Georgia,” State
Labor Commissioner Sam
Caldwell said.
The national unemployment
rate for December was 6.4 per
cent, down five-tenths of a
percentage point from 6.9 per
cent the previous month.
Nonagricultural wage and
salary employment in the
Augusta area rose to 116,500

“nuclear incident.” And so, for
nearly a generation, all the
governments of the world have
been able to deceive their own
people as to the true nature of
the biological hazards in the
name of national security.
Convinced of the absolute
necessity of nuclear weapons,
nuclear submarine reactors,
nuclear spy satellites and
nuclear power plants,
government scientists
throughout the world were
able to convince their political
leaders that the hazards of
low-level radiation exposures
were negligible.
The result has been that no
research into the effects of
small, continued exposures to
radiation of the general
population was ever funded
and carried out by responsible
government agencies. Instead,
the military and the nuclear
bureaucracies in every major
nation have successfully
diverted attention from the
problem of low-level
radioactive contamination.
