Atlanta business news updating soon. ● Atlanta GA Business & Economy # Atlanta GA Business News Anchored by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic for a sixth consecutive year in 2025 — Atlanta is a national logistics and air-cargo hub. The county economy was a $604.3 billion engine (2024). Unemployment ran at 3.3% through May 2026, against a state rate of 3.6%. Georgia is a right-to-work state. ## What anchors the Atlanta economy - **Delta Air Lines**. - **Emory University & Emory Healthcare**. - **The Home Depot**. - **Northside Hospital System**. ## Beyond the headlines The economy reaches into **Film & Television Production**, **Financial Technology & Payments**, **Healthcare & Biosciences**, and **Higher Education**. Atlanta is corporate home to **The Coca-Cola Company**, **The Home Depot**, **Delta Air Lines**, and **UPS**. The single largest taxpayer in the county is **Georgia Power / Southern Company (utility real property)**. ## Trade & infrastructure - **Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport**. ## Talent pipeline Workforce flows out of **Georgia Institute of Technology**, **Georgia State University**, **Emory University**, **Morehouse College**, **Spelman College**, **Clark Atlanta University**, **Atlanta Technical College**, and **Georgia Piedmont Technical College** — feeding the engineering, healthcare, finance, and skilled-trade jobs that Atlanta employers fill every year. ## How HERE Atlanta covers it We track every layer of the Atlanta economy: corporate relocations, retail openings, restaurant launches, workforce trends, commercial real estate, supplier announcements, hospital and university capital projects, and the local, state, and federal government decisions that shape how businesses here grow.
