Georgia’s unemployment rate has hit double digits for the first time.
The state Department of Labor reported Wednesday that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate jumped half a percentage point to 10.1 percent in June, the highest rate ever recorded. The rate had been 9.6 percent in May.
“Georgia is in the midst of a deepening economic crisis,” said State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond.
