MIAMI-DADE, Fla. -- Teachers in Miami-Dade County are fighting back against the school board's decision to slash jobs.

Several teachers gathered outside the Intercontinental Hotel on Sunday to protest superintendent Rudy Crew's decision to slash jobs while refusing to cut his own pay

The board approved additional job cuts last week, raising the total number of jobs lost to more than 2,000.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- State officials say Florida's unemployment rate in May was at its highest in more than five years.

The jobless rate was 5.5 percent, the same as the national number.

The Agency for Workforce Innovation reported Friday that another 56,000 workers lost jobs last month, bringing the total number of jobless in Florida to more than 500,000

The state's unemployment numbers haven't been this high since January 2003.

The unemployment rate in Miami-Dade County remained unchanged at 4.7 percent.

Flagler County in east-central Florida reported the highest unemployment rate in the state at 8.3 percent.
