Of the places in America this Labor Day weekend where work is both valued and available, Hall County ranks high on the list. Not only does Hall boast of the state’s lowest unemployment rate of 4.6 percent, it ranks 10th in the nation for the highest percentage change in the number of residents with jobs, and 20th the nation for the highest increase in average weekly wages between the end of 2014 and 2015 (7.4 percent), according to the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The conclusion there would be that if you live here and don’t have a job, you’re not trying hard enough.
