Hiring Plans Encourage Atlanta Workers
Following a dramatic plunge in June, the Hudson Employment Index (SM) for Atlanta rose 7.1 points to 110.1 in July. Improved hiring plans contributed to the increase, but were offset by continued finance concerns. Atlanta’s latest reading falls shy of last July’s 115.6. The national Index, based on responses from approximately 9,000 workers, also rose 4.6 points to 105.8.
