SAVANNAH–Finding a job these days isn’t the easiest task–though Georgia’s most recent unemployment rate measured at nine percent, it was only four months ago that unemployment hit 10.2 percent.
At the same time, the state faces a labor shortage in some high-paying trade industries. To combat that, Governor Nathan Deal unveiled his “Go Build Georgia” campaign. The campaign is aimed at reversing the mindset that trade industry jobs like welding, plumbing and carpentry are undesirable. Instead www.GoBuildGeorgia.com promotes the profitability of those jobs. Now the campaign is heading out on the road, making multiple tour stops around the state.
Below are the dates and locations of the tour for future reference.
