Georgia’s unemployment rate higher than national average

09/10/2008 Alena Parker Coastal Courier Hinesville, Ga.
The number of Georgians who are jobless continues to exceed the national average, which is currently at a five-year high. Local officials attribute the rising rate to inflation, housing market woes, and an overall slowing in the economy. What’s more, in some towns, like Hinesville on the Georgia coast, having more education does not make it easier to find a job; rather, it is often harder for better educated residents to find work.

Despite the stats, I see thousands of high paying jobs posted on employment sites -

http://www.realmatch.com (matches you to the jobs)

I see 100K, 150K and 200K jobs
