Georgia Technology Jobs Down

AeA just released its 2007 Cyberstates report. Nationally technology jobs increased by 3% nationally, adding nearly 150,000 jobs.

Alas, Georgia had a net loss of 900 jobs. The study attributes this to big losses in the Internet and telecommunications sectors. I take that to mean BellSouth, Cingular, and EarthLink.

The cloud in the silver lining is that VC investment in Georgia was up 44% last year and there are a bunch of people looking for something to do, which might lead to some future interesting startups in the Internet and telecommunications areas.
