    Summer job market leads to slight rise in June unemployment

    2 days ago

    ATLANTA -- Georgia Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson announced Thursday that Georgia's June unemployment rate was 3.3%, up one-tenth of a percent from a revised 3.2% in May. The unemployment rate was eight-tenths lower than the national unemployment rate.

    “School's out, and Georgia is thriving like never before," Thompson said in a news release. "Our students infuse our work force with new talent and energy each summer. While this may temporarily increase seasonal unemployment, the fresh skills and enthusiasm these young workers bring to the local economy are key to cultivating an economy that’s built to last.”
