Gainesville lost 700 jobs between June and July

By by Ken Stanford
ATLANTA - There are fewer jobs in metro Gainesville than a month ago.

State Labor Department Commissioner Michael Thurmond says the area lost 700 jobs between June and July - a one percent decline.

Every metropolitan area in the state recorded a job loss for the period except Brunswick.

Meanwhile, the state unemployment rate is down a tenth of a percent to 5.1 percent.

County rates will be released next week.
