Human Capital

One of the resources available to these growth companies is the Southeast’s pool of human capital. Experienced executives and managers can be recruited for all levels, from entry-level to CEO. More Fortune 500 corporations are headquartered in the Southeast than anywhere outside of New York City; over 75% of the Fortune 1000 have operations in Atlanta alone. Familiar names that are either based in the Southeast or that have very substantial operations here include:

AFLAC Gaylord Entertainment Nortel
AirTran Georgia-Pacific Northrop Grumman

AT&T Harris Corporation R.J. Reynolds
AT&T Wireless HCA Ray-O-Vac
