It was a bad week for Georgians
Placeholder Image
There are times when it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed in the morning. Last week was such a time for Georgia’s citizens and the people they elect to make their political decisions.The most depressing development of the week was the announcement from the state Department of Labor that Georgia’s unemployment rate hit a whopping 8.6 percent. That’s the highest jobless rate since 1976, when the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics standardized unemployment rates among all the states.
