Droughts signals bad news for peanut butter lovers

Droughts signals bad news for peanut butter lovers

ATLANTA -- It's been 30 years since so few acres of peanuts were planted in Georgia.

The shortage and ongoing drought are bringing higher prices for peanuts and their favorite cousin -- peanut butter.

The acreage is down because farmers chose to plant cotton, which was commanding higher prices. It was thought plenty of peanuts would still be available, but many of the plants have not come out of the ground due to drought.

The situation has peanut butter manufacturers bracing for tighter supplies, according to Don Koehler with the Georgia Peanut Commission.

Georgia is the nation's largest producer of peanuts, producing 46 percent of U.S. peanuts.

Jobless rate rises in June

ATLANTA -- Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent in June.

That's up one-tenth of a percentage point from a revised 9.8 percent in May, according to state labor commissioner Mark Butler.

"The unemployment rate inched up slightly because of normal seasonal factors, primarily involving the end of the school year," Butler said. "Non-contract school workers such as bus drivers, lunchroom and janitorial workers are usually laid off during the summer school break."

The loss of 12,400 seasonal jobs in state and local public school systems accounted for the bulk of the 14,600 payroll jobs lost throughout the state.

"Also, new graduates began searching for jobs and are counted as unemployed while doing so," Butler said.

ATLANTA -- Bad economic news has been like a broken record over the past few years, but there's more good news for the state of Georgia and for job seekers in Atlanta.

The state announced Wednesday that revenue figures for June are up 6.2 percent over last June. Revenue rose by $87.5 million. "We saw numbers that were above trend for 12 consecutive months in fiscal year 2011," said Gov. Nathan Deal.

And there is more good news on the job front from companies who recruit workers. Jobs News Atlanta expects the jobs available at a job fair in Atlanta on July 21, 2011 to double. "We are definitely seeing a surge of companies coming to us for increasing their staff," said Marsha Olivieri.

The news comes on the heels of two announcements in the past two weeks. Caterpillar Inc. announced they were adding 200 jobs and $120 million in capital improvements to their Spalding County plant.
