Georgia’s Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said on Thursday that the number of workers in Georgia showed some improvement during the month of February.

Commissioner Butler said, ““Thanks to the hard work of many Georgians, February saw gains in jobs, labor force, and the number of employed for much of the state,” said Commissioner Mark Butler. “As we look towards the spring and summer months, we remain committed to working with employers as they continue to fill open positions with suitable job seekers.”

Even with the number of new workers, there are still hundreds of jobs in Northwest Georgia that need to be filled.
