This brief provides a snapshot of the current economic atmosphere in Georgia and a summary of key trends to watch in 2020. Recent job growth, increases in personal income and improvements in state GDP are just a few signs of the economic progress Georgia has made in the last few years. At the end of 2019, the unemployment rate was 3.5 percent nationwide and 3.2 percent in Georgia—a record low for the state. The brief is intended as background for the 2020 Georgia legislative session.
