The rate
remained at 1.6 percent, which was matched by Forsyth
County.
The
statistics show that Fayette's labor force was 47,249
with just 734 residents listed as unemployed.
Fayette's
unchanged rate reflected the rest of the metro Atlanta
region. The region's rate remained unchanged at 2.7
percent.
"We
continue to have a very tight labor market in the Atlanta
area," said state labor commissioner Michael
Thurmond.
"There
are simply not enough skilled workers to meet increasing
demand. Even though our labor force has grown, the
increase in available workers is not keeping pace with
job growth," he added.
Other
county rates included:
-Clayton-
3 percent.
-Henry-
1.9 percent.
-Rockdale-
2.3 percent.
-Coweta-4.3
percent.
