Despite recent job growth across Georgia and the nation, Hall County has only recovered to prerecession levels in one of four key economic indicators, according to a new study released this week. The 2014 County Economic Tracker: Progress through Adversity, prepared by the National Association of Counties, tracks annual changes in economic output (gross domestic product), job growth, unemployment and home prices in 3,069 U.S. counties. “The County Economic Tracker reminds us that the U.S. economy can mask the realities of what is happening on the ground,” Emilia Istrate, director of research at the National Association of Counties, said in a statement.
