Furthermore, disaggregated state workforce data (see thread below) outlines the ongoing racial disparities in Georgia’s unemployment trends, making it clear that the August unemployment spike hit Black workers harder than others. #StateJobsDay
Today's #StateJobsDay numbers show Georgia's unemployment rate increased from 3.4% to 3.6% in August—a significant jump. This rise reflects more active workers losing jobs, outpacing the number of people who transitioned from the sidelines to job searching or employment.💼

GA has record-low unemployment, low UI benefit claim levels, and continued growth in its labor force & filled jobs. While THIS is the period when GA’s UI Trust Fund reserves should steadily rise to prep for future recessions..lawmakers keep suppressing its growth. #StateJobsDay
Happy #StateJobsDay! A mix of striking job market trends in GA. On the broader side, from Sept to Oct, GA lost more than 1K in jobs filled, while nearly 10K more Georgians entered the active labor force, and overall unemployment held at 3.4%. #gapol
As BLS releases state-level monthly numbers for #StateJobsDay at 10am, here's the latest BLS Current Population Survey (CPS) data for context. All Georgian's ARE NOT experiencing near record lows in unemployment. Lots of disparity in GA's overall 3.3% August jobless rate #gapol
Today's #StateJobsDay numbers signal that non-Black & Brown GA workers have yet to feel significant slowdowns from Fed Reserve interest rate hikes. But none of GA's disaggregated stats in 2023 suggest that Black Georgians still have labor market success compared to national avgs.
More Vermont businesses have become all-remote workplaces, but fewer allow hybrid arrangements. #StateJobsDay #JobsBriefFriday
3.1% overall unemployment in GA in February. But 6.5% for Black Georgians, per the latest CPS 3-month avg. Contextualize that within GA's UI system, which allows a max of only 14 weeks when OVERALL joblessness is 4.5%. A systemically racist UI safety net at work.. #StateJobsDay
1st #StateJobsDay of 2023! GA continued overall, but slower, jobs growth, consistent w/ data showing hiring remains 4X that of layoffs. But heavy disparities w/in GA's 3% jobless rate & stagnant barriers to LF reentry are screaming for policy solutions w/ a racial equity focus.
Today's #StateJobsDay #'s suggest a broader slowdown is beginning in GA, but overall unemployment growth & LF decline mask rising disparities often ignored in efforts to slow inflation. A hard landing's already come for those w/ 2X overall unemployment & few to no savings. #gapol
So #statejobsday brings more record lows in GA’s overall unemployment rate(2.8%), a near 4K decrease in the labor force, but a 12K rise in payroll employment. Are more Georgians who remain in the active labor force working multiple jobs to survive inflation?
GA's total filled jobs grew 18K & its jobless rate dropped to 2.9% in June, on heels of Q2 CPS data showing Black workers w/ possibly record-low un & under-employment. If a recession looms, these gains may reverse & persisting disparities may worsen. #gapol #StateJobsDay 1/6
Regret that I didn’t crash last Friday’s #StateJobsDay party, bc there should be no party for an overall state unemployment rate of 3.1%, when the GA labor market’s structurally racist equilibrium is back to a 2:1 (near 2.5:1) Black-white unemployment&underemployment ratio #gapol
Summing up 2 BLS job data releases for #StateJobsDay: The #1 State for Business was actually #1 in Job Quits in August, likely due to GA workers' concerns over COVID case growth, GA's low vax rate & heightened leverage among workers migrating to better quality jobs. (1/2) #gapol
In 2020 the typical Vermont household income dropped $8,000 from the previous year, to $66,902—below the U.S. median for the first time since 2007. #chartoftheweek #StateJobsDay https://t.co/0DWcEikwHG
Late #StateJobsDay post, but #BLS numbers were a mixed bag for GA's labor market in May. State & federal investments are still needed to reach a robust recovery. 7,000 jobs filled in May, but GA also lost 12,000 from the LF, signs that pandemic barriers are still present. #gapol
As the Vermont economy reopens, there’s a lot of talk about jobs going unfilled. In fact, we don’t have good state-level data on how many jobs are open, what they are, or how much they pay. #StateJobsDay https://t.co/Z65c3IoDAm
While BLS' #StateJobsDay reports Georgia's March unemployment rate at 4.5%, this state still has more work to do to achieve an equitable recovery for all Georgians. When broken down by race/ethnicity/gender, there is a significant employment gap that has yet to be closed..#gapol
In March 2021, 30,000 fewer Vermonters were employed compared with the same month in 2020, before the full COVID shutdown—a 9 percent drop. #ChartOfTheWeek #StateJobsDay https://t.co/BQsxdHrGtz
