The unemployment rate in Athens is lower than Georgia's average. There are some manufacturing locations in Athens. Cost of living is definitely lower. The newspaper for Athens is onlineathens.com. (onlineathens dot com, incase the URL does not come up.) It have job listings as well. Check out UGA emplyment as well. People live either in Clarke county (Athens), or in some of the neighbouring counties (depending on school and other reasons). Athens is usually discussed on the Georgia forum, not the Atlanta forum. Athens is 50-70 miles from Atlanta metro.

I dont check the Georgia forum, and do check the Atlanta forum. If there is something specific I can answer, you could post to this thread.

Athens is great! It's a fun place to be, fairly inexpensive, and lots of stuff to do! And if you are looking for a place to live...

I am looking to sublease my place in a 3 bed/2 bath house. 2 female roommates, both are very nice and quite, not really at home most of the time. Both go to UGA. Total of 3 dogs and 1 cat in house, but 2 of the dogs are only there maybe 2 days out of the week (stay at her boyfriend's house the rest of the time), and the other one stays in the back yard when owner is not at home.

Bedroom comes with bed and dresser, whole house furnished. Rent $450/month including all utilities and trash service. On the North side, in a small, quiet Neighborhood off of Newton Bridge Road. Near loop, about 5 minutes from downtown, and close to stores, but for enough that it's not the "college scene". Fenced in Yard! No deposit or pet fees!

Let me know if you are interested. Need to find a replacement ASAP, moving to a place with a pasture for my horses.
