The Prep Process in North Georgia to Welcome Thousands of Evacuees Fleeing Hurricane Florence Begun Almost Immediately.

Hurricane Florence was a Category 4 hurricane that hit the Carolinas earlier this month. Georgia was ready to accept evacuees as soon as it was predicted. We’ve all got to stick together and Georgia knows that better than anywhere.

Rushes of people were seen escaping the hurricane’s harm and into Georgian Hotels, motels, RV sites, and campgrounds. The wind reached up to 130 mph and Georgia has helped accommodate those in need of shelter.

Low Unemployment Rate Continue to Display Statewide Growth!

In just the past month, Georgia’s economy has added 12,000 jobs and the state unemployment rate made it below the national average with a percentage rate of 3.8. With the national average being 4.7, Georgia’s economic efforts have finally made a significant unemployment drop with nearly 5 million working employees being accounted for. AJC notes this holiday season is the perfect opportunity for workers to find jobs as we have been “employing new workers as fast as we have been adding them.” In demand this season: accountants, logisticians, warehouses, and distribution centers.

What Georgia’s GPD Means for Housing Stocks

As the U.S. economy grows in strength, companies are getting back on track and hiring. The GPD for last quarter has almost doubled since Q1, which has been recognized as the final stage of recovery from last decade’s financial crisis. This marks a good time to purchase homes as well as obtain the necessary financing to actually move into them.

Good news for the State of Georgia!
