Spalding County is located in a region that has experienced explosive population growth, and thereby draws employees from approximately 10 counties. When recruiting workers, some existing industries must post signs  indicating that applications are only taken on certain days of the week, or that they should apply at the Griffin office of the Georgia Department of Labor.

Potential job seekers include: workers now commuting out of Spalding County, but wanting comparable employment near home; workers currently working in the county, but who are under-employed for their skill or educational level; people who now stay at home or work part-time, but would work if suitable jobs were available near home; and those who are nearing graduation from universities, and would like to come home.

Major segments of the labor pool, in addition to currently employed workers with industrial experience, include recent high school and vocational School graduates, those who have recently returned from military service and, of course, school dropouts. Griffin-Spalding County is currently home to 120 manufacturers. Take a look at our existing manufacturers, who are served by a superior labor market.
