Delta posted this a few days ago, maybe in anticipation.

Delta is a major supporter of jobs in Georgia

With 33,000 employees statewide, Delta is Georgia’s No. 1 private employer, directly responsible for $43.5 billion in economic impact a year.

Delta is one of Georgia’s most powerful engines for economic growth

Delta contributes $300 million annually to Georgia state and local governments through taxes and fees.

The company paid its Georgia employees $500 million in profit sharing in 2017, resulting in $30 million in income tax withholdings.

Delta pays more than $200 million a year in operating expenses to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, supporting airport police, fire, security and other functions.

Direct flights out of Atlanta have supported nearly $11 billion in foreign investment in Georgia since 2011 and the creation of more than 42,000 jobs in Georgia
