Working in Georgia
Employment Landscape
Georgia’s job market is uneven right now. Significant layoff activity in logistics, manufacturing, and media has marked 2025—with WARN notices showing over 15,000 positions cut statewide, including major closures at International Paper in Savannah and Riceboro, Georgia-Pacific in Edison, and 325 tech and systems engineering jobs at General Motors. Atlanta was hit particularly hard, including workforce reductions at CNN, Block Inc., Rivian, Smurfit Westrock, and others totaling more than 1,800 jobs. That said, health care and educational services continue to add jobs, and the film and life sciences sectors remain drivers of longer-term opportunity. Infrastructure improvements tied to the massive Hyundai/LG battery plant and supplier ecosystem near Savannah signal green shoots for future hiring in manufacturing and construction.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
Hiring is mixed. Service sectors like health care and education are quietly expanding, while manufacturing and logistics are under pressure from closures and automation. Large public‑sector or federal roles remain constrained by recent freezes and in‑person mandates, limiting growth there.
"Job hunting in Georgia right now often feels like navigating two markets: one where care and technical support roles keep ticking up, and another where traditional manufacturing and media jobs are being steadily reduced."
