Despite this news and weekly announcements of groups of 100s of new high paying jobs moving to the area, the haters will still hate. Let them hate.

Exactly. This boom is for real, and it's pretty obvious to anyone with their eyes actually open.

It feels good to be back from the depths of 2008.

Well, the unemployment for us is still too high. Miami is doing better and we are nearly on par with Detroit.

I'm sure one reason for that in light of such strong job growth numbers is more people are encouraged to actively look for work, and that's on top of growth via domestic migration.

This is neither here nor there. The job gains are definitely good news, however the region is still performing poorly in comparison to keeping up with the amount of population growth to jobs added. Put bluntly, 2,000 jobs a month is weak when you have 8,000 new residents in that same period.

Exactly. This is why our numbers are still stubbornly high. A lot more people move here than Miami, and especially more than move to Detroit. They continued to flock here even in the depths of the recession.

Yep.
Posting in this forum asking how or if they can move here without a job.

I wonder why folks keep moving here without work? This isn't Houston.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ATLANTA IS A LAGGING INDICATOR.

I don't know if it always has been, but it sure has been as long as I've been here.

When the economy tanks in the future, expect Atlanta to take a year or two to catch up to that as well. I remember when the housing bust happened, prices in Atlanta stayed high for quite some time. Property had to sit on the market for months before sellers finally got the idea and adjusted prices.
