Georgia Colleges and Universities: Focused Career Training

Published: November, 2010

Top businesses in Georgia offer a mix of retail, transportation, insurance, and healthcare services. A nationwide surge in healthcare careers is expected to improve the job market across the state. IT careers are also expected to see growth in Georgia. Entry-level network administrators in Atlanta earn $46,500 on average, while beginning network engineer salaries average $54,200. The IT industry employs about 114,600 workers statewide, and a growing national dependence on computers and technology is expected to drive the demand for engineers, technicians, and administration personnel.

Unemployment rates in Georgia are slightly lower than the national average, partly due to the number of profitable and growing companies with headquarters there. A number of Fortune 500 companies call Georgia home, including:

  • Home Depot
  • United Parcel Service
  • Coca-Cola
  • Delta Air Lines
  • AFLAC


Georgia's trade, transportation, and utilities industry is the state's largest, employing about 883,300 members of the state's workforce. Growing local industries include construction, education and health services, as well as the leisure and hospitality industry.
