Georgia's Timber Industry Continues Growth
Friday, June 21st, 2013
Georgia's timber industry is showing signs of improvement after a slump brought on by the collapsing housing market.
But the revival hasn't yet arrived in all areas of the state's $15 billion forestry industry.
Georgia timber industry payrolls peaked at 68,000 jobs before the housing collapse. Construction and timber are closely tied. So now the number of industry jobs is rising from its recession low of 43,000.
