The Atlanta Job market just received some bad news. Our job market is poor. Atlanta jobs are scarce.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle makes the following report:
"Georgia has the sixth-weakest state economy, according to a midyear review of state employment trends by Portfolio.com and bizjournals, the Internet arm of American City Business Journals, parent company of Atlanta Business Chronicle.
This year's study puts Nevada in 51st place, dead-last among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. California ranked 50th, followed by Florida, Michigan, Rhode Island and Georgia.
The study gives Georgia a -9.32 score for employment, pointing out the Peach State lost 74,600 jobs from 2009 to May 2010. The state now has 3,139,200 private sector jobs and a 10 percent unemployment rate." Atlanta Busines Chronicle July 28, 2010
NO JOBS = NO HOME BUYERS
NO HOME BUYERS = SUCKING Atlanta real estate market
Jobs are my go to economic indicator for how the real estate market will perform. When the job market in Atlanta improves the Atlanta real estate market will improve.
People are not motivated to buy a home until they have a secure job and steady income. No indicator is more important to the housing market than employment statistics.
