Atlanta lost jobs...

[Neo]

"It turns out that 2003 was tougher for job seekers than state officials had believed: Metro Atlanta ended the year with about 84,200 fewer jobs than first thought.

Instead of enjoying an increase of 67,900 jobs during the year

I wouldn't have expected ATL to have lost jobs. Actually, if any cities were to gain more jobs, I would've expected it to be ATL. With the sluggish economy is doesn't surprise me too much though.

[M. Brown]

Yeah I woudnt expect ATL to lose jobs either. It always tops lists and stuff like that.

When a booming sunbelt city with an economy as robust as Atlanta's loses jobs, that's a pretty bad sign of the economy as a whole.

I was kind of taken back by this artcle. I wonder if this was a common problem with everyones numbers, and the economy is just that poor, or what.

Hopefully this doesn't become a trend for the city.
