Good News for Florida: Unemployment down, job creation up

The Orlando Sentinel (registration required) this morning reports on the strengthening labor market in Florida. President Bush’s pro-growth policies have had their intended effect and businesses are beginning to add new workers – whichh is “good news” for Florida and the nation.

There is good news on the Orlando jobs front today.

Unemployment fell and net job creation continued last month in metro Orlando and across Florida.

October unemployment fell to 4.7 percent in the Orlando area , down from a revised 5.1 percent in September. Meanwhile, the metropolitan area added about 600 jobs -- an increase of about one-tenth of one percent -- from September's total.

Metropolitan Orlando comprises Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties.

Statewide, the jobless rate fell even faster -- half a percentage point -- to 4.8 percent, putting it more than a percentage point below the nationwide rate of 6 percent.
