When you take into account all of the businesses and industries in each metro, does anyone know which metro besides Atlanta brings in the most money? I've tried to find the answer but cant.

The port of Savannah is a huge economic engine for the state.

I'm rather surprised Augusta is on up there. Must be Masters related tourism or Fort Gordon - which is again surprising because Savannah has tons of tourists and an Air Force base if I'm not mistaken.

Savannah actually makes more off of local and leisure. Augusta does make more off of military but not much.

None of these figures include Jasper/ Beaufort/ Hilton Head all of which are closer to Savannah than Hinesville. They all are negotiating a joint regional transportation/ Planning commission.

Yes this data only contains information on the Metropolitan areas, that's why Hilton Head etc. isn't included.

Augusta brings the most money in after atlanta. The highest median income in georgia is atlanta first and augusta second.
