Georgia recently released new unemployment data, but the numbers only go through September and still rely on delayed federal reporting. On paper, the rate looks stable. In real life, Georgians are feeling something very different. In this episode, Nikki breaks down why the data is outdated, how delayed reporting keeps families and small businesses in the dark, and what the numbers actually mean when connected to the real experiences of people across all 159 counties. 

This episode explains why transparency matters and what a modern Labor Commissioner should be doing to fix it.
