ALBANY, GA -- Attorney General Samuel Olens spoke to the Dougherty County Rotary Club Thursday to discuss several issues facing the United States and Georgia.

Olens focused on the jobless rate in the state, citing lack of graduated high-schoolers as the issue. Olens stated that there are jobs all over Georgia, however no one with the skill sets to fill them. He went on to say that he encourages all Georgia residents to graduate high school, college, or whatever education level they are currently enrolled in.
