ATLANTA - First-time claims for unemployment insurance in Georgia in July up 59 percent from a year ago.

The situation improved dramatically in north Georgia where, in June, Rome (up 68.9 precent), Gainesville (up 68.8 percent), and Athens (69.7 percent) led the way. This time around, it's Savannah (up 289.1 percent), Brunswick (134.2 percent) and Hinesville (75.7 precent) that showed the biggest increases in claims.
