Jobless Claims Continue
To Rise, But At Slower Pace
State Labor Commissioner
Michael Thurmond said that the
number of Georgians who filed
initial claims for unemployment
insurance in August increased by
48 percent over the same period
a year ago. He also pointed out
that the increase is less than in
recent months.
“We continue to see a signifi
cant increase in the number of
initial claims for unemployment
insurance when compared to the
same month last year.” said
Thurmond. “What is differ
ent is the magnitude of that
increase, a little more than
half of what it was in July,
when it stood at 89 percent.”
In August, 45.233 Geor
gians filed first-time claims
for unemployment insurance
benefits, up from 30,583 in
August of last year.
Albany was the state's only
metropolitan area that
showed a decline in first
time claims over the year,
dropping by 1.7 percent from
419 to 412. The increases in
the other metro areas in
clude: Athens, up 39 or 15
percent from 253 to 292; At
lanta, up 4,626 or 59 percent
from 7,860 to 12,486; Au
gusta. up 361 or 54 percent
from 672 to 1,033; Colum
bus. up 142 or 29 percent
from 487 to 639; Macon, up
40 or five percent from 824
to 864 and Savannah, up 23
or four percent from 625 to
648.
Despite the increase in lay
offs, many employers
throughout the state have
available jobs listed with the
state labor department.
“I continue to encourage
workers who've lost their
jobs to turn adversity into op
portunity by using the lull in
the economy to retool their
skills to make themselves
more employable,” Thur
mond continued, “and many
are doing exactly that. Help
for laid-off workers, or those
who want to make a career
change, is available through
our state wide network of ca
reer centers, as well as on our
wed site.”
The Georgia Department
of Labor’s web site at
www.dol. state.ga.us offers
extensive information about ca
reers, job openings and labor
market data.
