West Ga. economic report released
CARROLLTON, Ga. -- The University of West Georgia's Center for Business and Economic Research has released its latest report for the west Georgia region.
The region includes six counties: Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson, Paulding and Polk.
Of those counties, only one -- Carroll -- saw an increase in unemployment since summer 2012.
"Although the unemployment rates for some counties have increased over the last few months, the increase has come as a result of more people entering the labor force, not fewer people being employed," Dr. William Smith, director of the center, said in a statement.
