State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said that the preliminary unadjusted unemployment rate in the metro Warner Robins area decreased to 7.4 percent in March, down three-tenths of a percentage point from a revised 7.7 percent in February. The jobless rate in the metro Warner Robins area in March a year ago was 7.5 percent.

The rate decreased because there were 200 new jobs in Warner Robins in March, mostly in the service-related industries, and there were fewer layoffs in manufacturing and retail trade.        

“The unemployment rate decreased in Warner Robins, as well as in all of the state’s other 24 local areas,” said Butler. “This is encouraging, and hopefully indicates that a modest recovery may be building throughout the state.”

The lowest rate, at 7.3 percent was in metro Athens, while the highest rate, at 11.7 percent, was in the Heart of Georgia – Altamaha region around Dublin.
