The April
rate, according to Department of Labor statistics
released last week, show the county with the second
lowest rate in the Atlanta region. Only Forsyth County
with a 1.5 percent rate is lower.
In march,
Fayette's rate was 1.6 percent, while last April it stood
at 1.8 percent.
Overall,
the state's rate was a historically low 2.6 percent.

statewide the growth of our skilled workforce is no
keeping pace with rapid job growth," said State
Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond. "Unless we
increase the size of our workforce the current shortage
of skilled workers could threaten our future economic
prosperity."
