(WTXL) - Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler says the Peach State once again set records for employed residents, labor force and jobs for June, continuing a trend from recent months.

Butler said the state is approaching the five million mark for employed residents.

At the same time, Georgia posted more than 4.5 million jobs and a labor force of almost 5.2 million.

Meanwhile, the jobless rate dropped to a level not seen since 2001 even as the national rate ticked up .2 percent.
