August 14th, 2006 Posted by Kimberly

Throughout the state, we all like to know a little more about what is happening here. The Georgia (GA) Department of Human Resources is a great place to go to learn more about our state as a whole, or at least as it related to employment and business within our state. This department is one that monitors and helps to coach us all in finding the necessary things that we need including help with unemployment, worker’s compensation and helps businesses to get started as well. Yet, the Department of Labor, as it is also called, also provides a good amount of information to us too.

For example, the Georgia Department of Human Resources regularly lets us know what the fastest growing jobs within our state are. This information is gathered through employers and it allows for a good look at what industries are doing well within our state as well. The information that they provides is not necessarily about where the most people work, but rather where the demand for qualified workers is the highest. Therefore, these are the places where there are the most available jobs within out state.

The most in demand work force currently is that of retail sales people. In this case, over the next 5 to 6 years, it is estimated that this field will continue to grow up to 35% more so than it currently is at. In addition, the demand for registered nurses is also quite high. In this case, there is likely to be a sore to over 36% growth within the next several years in this field. Other in demand occupations include customer services representatives, cashiers, food preparation and serving people and general operations management.

The Georgia Department of Human Resources provides this information to us, the people of this state so that we can better see where our state is headed in the coming years.
