Governor Kemp: Georgia Job Creation Remains Strong

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), has announced another year of sustained momentum for business recruitment and expansions in Fiscal Year 2024.  

According to a press release from Kemp’s office, “Between July 1, 2023, and June 30 of this year, GDEcD’s Global Commerce team supported 429 facility expansions and new locations resulting in more than $20.3 billion in investment and the commitment of 26,900 new, private sector jobs statewide.” 

“Further delivering on Governor Kemp’s promise to prioritize growth in rural Georgia, 83% of expansions and new locations are on their way to communities outside the 10-county Atlanta region, representing more than 18,300 new jobs and $12.5 billion in investment,” the press release added. 

“For years, we’ve worked closely with local and state partners all across Georgia to bring historic job creation to our communities, especially in rural areas,” said Kemp. “These figures are just the latest confirmation that our approach is bringing sustained opportunity for the people of our state, even in the face of economic headwinds on the national level. We’re committed to continuing that momentum, investing in key areas like education, workforce development and infrastructure. Thank you to the incredible GDEcD team and all our partners across the state for making this another great year.”
