GEORGIA WHERE LOGISTICS FUELS GROWTH

摘要

Despite the struggles of the national economy in a year many business leaders may want to forget, Georgia's logistics engine continued to hum in 2020, illuminating the state's assets and infrastructure. That message emerges from a detailed report conducted as a collaborative effort between the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and Hickory Ridge Group LLC. Titled "Georgia Leading the Way: The Logistics Workforce for the Future," the report characterizes Georgia's supply chain and logistics sector as a powerful force for continued rapid economic growth. The pandemic shined a spotlight on the critical nature of the sector, and the experiences of many of Georgia's leading logistics services providers bear that out. As the nation learned, truck drivers and warehouse employees revealed themselves to be everyday heroes, making sure essential goods reached their destinations. And Georgia, long at the front and center of American logistics, showed that it has more than its fair share of such heroes.
