Chattooga County saw a jump in the number of workers filing first-time unemployment claims from June to July. There were fifty more unemployment claims in July than there were in June, for a total of 104 unemployment claims last month. That compares to ninety in July of 2023. Georgia Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson announced on Monday that Georgia’s July unemployment rate was 3.4 percent, up one-tenth from a revised 3.3 percent in June. The unemployment rate was nine-tenths lower than the national unemployment rate. “Georgia’s labor force is larger and more dynamic than ever,” Thompson said. “Our challenge—and our opportunity—is to partner with the business community to create jobs that meet the evolving needs of hardworking Georgians. With over 5 million workers, we have the talent. Now, we need more jobs to keep unemployment low and transform that talent into lasting success.” Jobs were up by 2,600 over the month and up by 77,600 over the year to 4,980,900, an all-time high.
