As of December 2010, the combined civilian labor force for Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade and Walker Counties is approximately 85,000 people. The unemployment rate for the region is 10.05%.
Our communities understand the importance of having a skilled workforce and therefore have shown their commitment to attract new business and improve their existing economic base by participating in an initiative known as Certified Work Ready. This initiative allows individuals the opportunity to demonstrate to employers suitability for employment and promotions; and employers the opportunity to make decisions regarding hiring, training and program development needs by matching job profile information with assessment scores of Georgia Work Ready Certified potential and incumbent employees.
Detailed workforce information for a particular county of interest may be obtained through the Georgia Department of Labor Georgia Labor Market Explorer.
