"I'm

pleased that the Chattahoochee-Flint area continues to

have low unemployment and steady job growth," said

Thurmond. "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," he

added.

past year, employment in the area has increased by almost

3,700, for a growth rate of 2.9 percent.

Statewide,

Georgia has added 12,600 new jobs in the past year.
