"Last month's increase in
unemployment may be an
indication that optimism is
growing among job seekers
who are returning to the
labor force as prospects for
employment improve," said
Thurmond.
"The consistent growth
in jobs and decline in initial
claims over the past few
months suggest that
Georgia's economy is head-
ed in the right direction,"
Thurmond stated.
*The lowest rate of the
four local counties for this
May was the 2.7 per cent
recorded in Harris. Harris
County had a jobless rate of
2.5 per cent in the revised
April figures.
A year ago, Harris had
only a 3.1 jobless rate.
*Meriwether had the
highest rate, with a 6.8 for
May, compared to 7.0 per-
cent in April.
In May of last year, the
jobless rate for Meriwether
was also 6.8 per cent.
* Ta]bot's rate continued
to improve, to 5.0 in May,
down from the revised April
rate of 5.2 percent.
In May of 2001, Talbot had
a 5.3 percent unemployment
rate.
*TroMp declined to a 4.9
percent rate in March from
a 5.2 rate in April
In May of 2001, TroMp had
a 4.7 rate.
*The Chattahoochee-
Flint region, which includes
Meriwether, TroMp, Carroll,
Coweta and Heard, had a 4.8
rate for May, unchanged
from April. In May of 2001 it
was 4.5 percent.
,The Lower
Chattahoochee district,
which includes Harris,
Talbot and six other counties,

trict's rate was 4.5 percent.

*In other business, the council voted
to add Councilmen Jimmy Jackson and
Jack Leidner to serve with City Manager
David Aldrich and ChaR-Flint Lynn
Miller to review the T-21.
The T-21 is a state grant for $350,000
with a 20 percent match by the city.
Aldrich said much of the labor can
be done by city employees thus count-
ing toward the matching funds.
The T-21 grant funds will be used
for streetscapes in downtown Main
Street and a couple blocks on HwT 29.
