From the Paper:

"Atlanta was always considered crucial to the country's trade, after the city was established in 1837. Its citizens painstakingly rebuilt the city 30 years later after Union General William T. Sherman burned it to the ground; and it politically transformed itself from a segregationist's sanctuary to an arena of equal opportunity, in the 60's and 70's. Since then, Atlanta has earned its place as an international nerve center for the explosive telecommunications industry, as well as textiles, making it an excellent city for employment. According to Fortune Magazine, Atlanta is one of the five best cities in the world to conduct business. In 1996 Atlanta's job growth totaled 5% as opposed to the nation's 1.7%; and the city's unemployment rate was only 3.7% as compared to the country's 5.3%."
