Once again Augusta is poised to be one of the fastest growing in the state...
Quote:
Metro Augusta has already added 1,500 jobs in the first three months of the year.
Strong employment gains occurred in the sectors of education and health, leisure and hospitality, manufacturing and construction in the first quarter, wrote Rajeev Dhawan, director of the Economic Forecasting Center that released the outlook. Two key sectors issued pink slips last quarter in the metro area, professional and business services and information.
“Despite these loses in catalyst sectors, our forecast calls for continued job growth with an annual increase of 3.1 percent in 2015, followed by 2.6 percent in 2016,” Dhawan wrote in the forecast.
