Ga. jobless rate leaps 126 percent

ATLANTA – New jobless claims surged last month, jumping 126 percent from March 2008, the state Labor Department reported on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Officials said 96,306 laid-off workers filed first-time claims for state unemployment insurance benefits in March. That suggests the state’s record-high 9.3 percent unemployment rate won’t be going down anytime soon, and could be set to move into the double digits. <\/p>\n

Georgia’s jobless rate is above the national average of 8.5 percent. <\/p>\n

“We’re still in a very soft job market and the short-term prospects are not looking good,” state Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said Thursday. <\/p>\n

The metropolitan areas with the highest percentage of increase in claims were Gainesville, up 249.4 percent; Rome, up 218.4 percent; and Brunswick, up 185.0 percent. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
