About the Company

State of Georgia

State government delivering health, transport, education

Georgia's government runs the state by delivering public services through its about 130 state agencies, covering areas like health, transportation, education, environment, and more. It employs roughly 200,000 teachers and state workers who staff schools, agencies, and programs, ensuring laws and services are carried out for residents and businesses. The state interacts with residents and businesses through its agencies, licensing, grants, infrastructure projects, and public programs. What makes Georgia different is its large, diverse economy and status as a business hub, with well-known regional employers and industries (e.g., Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Delta, CNN, Home Depot, Coca-Cola) and Atlanta’s role as a center for culture and commerce. Its goal is to support residents’ well-being, enable economic growth, and maintain efficient, accessible public services that attract and retain businesses and talent.
