Atlanta’s job market is gaining significant momentum according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whose data shows that 10,000 jobs were added to the Atlanta metro this past June alone. Of that total number, the jobs were divvied up among professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and commercial real estate and construction. If employment numbers continue to rise, the real estate market for the region will substantially strengthen.
The Alpharetta local movers have found that this June marked the fourth occurrence since 2010 that at least 10,000 jobs were added in one month, with the other times in October 2012, February 2011, and October 2010. It is likely October jobs were seasonal for the holidays and tapered off as the new year began–but summer growth shows signs of longevity.
The Atlanta economy as a whole is showing positive growth, and the region is climbing the economic index with current ranking at #65 of the #102 major metropolitan areas in the US for July 2013.
