Unemployment Rate Declines In Metro Albany The Georgia Department of Labor announced that the unem ployment rate in metro Albany declined one-tenth percent in August to 5.1 percent, down slightly from 5.2 percent in July. The area’s jobless rate was 6.6 percent in August of 2000. The decline in the rate was due largely to the return of about 1.000 temporary workers to non work activities, including high school and college. At the same time, some workers in construc tion, retail trade, and business ser vices, who were temporarily off their jobs in July, returned to work in August. Meanwhile, the state's unem ployment rate declined two tenths of a percent in August to 3.8 per cent, the same as in August of 2000. The decrease primarily re sulted from the return of approxi mately 60,000 temporary work ers to non-work activities, includ ing high school and college. "While we're glad to see a slight drop in the unemployment rate, the fact is labor market statistics for August are no longer relevant. The terrorists attacks on Septem ber 11 significantly altered the employment outlook nationally and here in Georgia,” said State Labor Commissioner Michael Thunnond. “ Although the airline and hospitality industries are ex pected to be among the hardest hit. many others are likely to suffer job losses as well. “The Georgia Department of Labor is redoubling its efforts to assist workers affected by this cri sis by processing their unemploy ment insurance claims helping them get back to work as soon as possible,” the commissioner con tinued.
