Metro Gainesville, which includes all of Hall County, set a record for jobs in August, reaching 90,000 for the first time, according to figures released Thursday by the state Department of Labor. Other key indicators such as new unemployment claims, increasing workforce and the total number of employed residents showed the county’s economy continues to be strong, Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said in a news release.
