Georgia Job Creation Remains Strong

Late last month, Governor Brian P. Kemp announced another record-breaking year of sustained momentum for business recruitment and expansions for the State. Between July 1, 2023, and June 30 of this year, the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Global Commerce team supported 429 facility expansions and new locations resulting in more than $20.3 billion in investment and the commitment of 26,900 new, private sector jobs statewide.

The Governor’s office also announced that 83% of expansions and new locations are on their way to communities outside the 10-county Atlanta region, representing more than 18,300 new jobs and $12.5 billion in investment.

In the Metro Atlanta area, growth continues to support the State’s overall economy as a logistics and business hub, attracting nearly $7.8 billion in investments. Statewide, new locations account for $12.8 billion in investments, and expansions are responsible for 9,800 new jobs.
