The press release further said “Georgia has the second most solvent unemployment insurance trust fund and the lowest unemployment insurance tax rates in the Southeast.” In addition “Georgia has one of the lowest average claims durations in the nation. For the twelve months ending Aug. 31, 2006, the average duration of Georgia claims was 11.2 weeks, while the national average was 15.2 weeks.”
Looks like other states need to follow the steps Georgia is taking to help get their unemployed citizens back to work as soon as possible. Three months sounds about right for a motivated person to find work or start a new blogging career.
