I have no idea how many are parttime but I know a large proportion of them are in IT, technical services, medical tech and other reasonably high paying jobs that are the future as opposed to the past as is, for better or worse, union and non-union manufacturing including automotive.
GA is fortunate that our state political leadership, while much more reactionary than I would like, has not yet slipped into the dark ages as have AL, KS, WI and now, sorry to say, NC
Business loves low taxes until the taxes become so low a state loses the ability to provide an educated work force, the infrastructure to support economic growth and the ability to care for its people.
In 1950 AL had 90% of the population of GA, today AL has 47% of the population of GA. There is a reason for that...George Wallace, Lurleen Wallace and Bull Conner vs Carl Sanders, Jimmy Carter and Ivan Allen! The differences may have been mostly perception, but perception matters.
