Last

September, the county's unemployment rate was 3.8

percent. The county's drop mirrors the rest of the

Atlanta region. Metro Atlanta's unemployment rate of 3.2

percent was the lowest ever recorded in September,

according to State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond.

"I am

pleased that low unemployment and steady job growth

continue in the Atlanta area. But, this has resulted in a

tight job market and shortage of skilled workers in some

industries. The labor shortages could lead to bidding

wars, as employers compete for skilled workers, and drive

up salaries and lead to an inflationary period,"

Thurmond added. "
