Throughout the part year, employment opportunities were springing up all over the Atlanta metro area. According to a report by Biz Journals, more than 37,000 positions were added, a figure compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The sign of added positions speaks to the overall economy of the area, which has shown positive growth and hopefully a continual upward trend. The Stone Mountain movers have learned that two areas seemed to outpace others in terms of field growth: Trade, transportation and Utilities and also Professional and Business Services. The latter has grown to outnumber jobs pre-recession, which is a pretty remarkable feat for any industry.

Other areas with job growth were in manufacturing, information technology, and education and health services. While there were many jobs added to the Atlanta area, there were also some industries that suffered losses such as construction and financial activity. 2011 to 2012 follows another strong year, where the 2010 to 2011 period saw 34,400 jobs added.
