A GDOL White Paper by Commissioner Michael L. Thurmond:
Job losses in construction, manufacturing and other male dominated industries have resulted in historically high levels of unemployment among Georgia males. From December 2007, the official beginning of the current recession, through May 2009, the number of men drawing state unemployment benefits increased from 34,136 to 88,612 or 160 percent. In May 2009, jobless men constituted 57.6 percent of the 153,930 Georgians receiving unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.
