That’s a lot of new businesses serving Georgia’s eager population.

While the population increase in Atlanta’s urban core hasn’t risen much recently, just .19% from 2019 to 2020, the greater Atlanta area continues to grow fast. These three top industries anchor the metro area:
Professional, scientific, and management, and administrative and waste management services
Educational services, and health care and social assistance
Finance and insurance, and real estate and rental and leasing
Along with large employers, the strength of these crucial industries has kept the unemployment rate in Atlanta’s Fulton County to 8%. Top employers in the city are: Delta Air Lines, The Home Depot, AT&T, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Wellstar Health System, Centers For Disease Control And Prevention, Emory Healthcare, Walmart, Northside Hospital, and UPS.
