In
2000, Atlanta offered one of the best opportunities for employment in the
nation. Estimates put the population growth in
the metro area at 114,000 for the year, and new job growth at 70,000. Month
after month throughout the year, the unemployment rate hit an all-time low.
This is great news for those seeking to enter the workforce, however, for
employers the tight labor market is making it tough to fill positions. The
Georgia Department of Labor tracks labor market data at:
