Welcome to the Women's Bureau, Region IV Web page. The headquarters for
the Regional Office is in Atlanta, Georgia. The Regional office provides
services to women living in the eight States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The region
offers a vast range of industry and economic conditions, from the affluence of
metropolitan cities like Atlanta, to the abject poverty of the Mississippi
Delta, from the dominance of coal mining in Kentucky to the tourist mecca of
Florida.
Over the past decade, the Southeast has experienced even greater
economic expansion than other parts of the country.
Alabama has replaced lost manufacturing jobs with significant gains in
the service industries. Kentucky has expanded into automobile manufacturing and
medical services. Mississippi's Gulfport/Biloxi area is home to the country's third
largest gaming industry with accompanying growth in the lodging industry. North
Carolina continues to grow as a technical center, while the tobacco industry has
shifted exports to Asia and furniture production continues to increase. South
Carolina's tourism industry has helped replace losses from the downturn in
military spending. Tennessee has vast warehousing for distribution of auto
parts, tires, and Federal Express packages. Florida has offset losses in
military and aerospace spending with gains in tourism and banking. Georgia's airline industry
remains healthy with a growing airport. Although Atlanta has experienced some tech
industry layoffs, its population continues to grow. The southeast remains one of the most vital and varied regions in the
country with a diverse population.
Please take the opportunity to explore the Web page. As you click on each
State, you will find more specific statistical data on women.
We hope you will find this information helpful and visit often. For
further information, please telephone the office.
