Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, an average month may have over 80,000 flights, 7 million passengers, and 53,700 metric tons of cargo that come into or out of Atlanta. As the interstate highways connect Georgia to the rest of the United States, the airport connects the state to the rest of the world. Flights from Atlanta go to five continents and are able to make it to these locations. The airport is one of the largest employers in the state. This does not include the thousands of other jobs such as M.A.R.T.A. employees, taxi-cab drivers, and rental car employees.
