Worker Justice

Overview

Building Georgia’s economy, cultivating good jobs and strengthening the workforce can ensure opportunity is broadly shared among all Georgians. Expanded access to quality job training opportunities, a higher minimum wage, tax credits that support workers and more investment in transportation are some effective ways to attract and retain high-wage industries and jobs while providing equitable pathways for workers to attain those jobs. Ensuring the benefits of growth are enjoyed by people of all backgrounds can help build a more inclusive economy that maximizes Georgia’s ability to compete.

Georgia's 2027 Budget Primer

The budget primer outlines the state budget for the year, recognizes substantial changes from the preceding year and provides a clear-eyed view on what lawmakers have prioritized for our state. This year, there will also be a focus on budget trends over the full eight years of Gov. Kemp’s tenure as we prepare for Georgia’s next leaders to take office.

Our budget primer is slated to be published the first day of the fiscal year, July 1. Join us for our virtual town hall to discuss our data, or request a physical copy of the primer to be sent to your address.
