Florida’s October Employment Figures Released

[Link]

TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in October 2010 is 11.9

percent, unchanged from September 2010. This represents 1,096,000 jobless out of a labor
force of 9,233,000.

Florida’s total nonagricultural employment in October 2010 is 7,215,500, representing an

increase of 6,900 jobs (0.1 percent) over the month. Florida’s annual job growth rate is up
0.5 percent, representing an increase of 35,700 jobs from October 2009. This is the
strongest over-the-year job growth in the state since May 2007. Nationally, the number of
jobs is up 0.6 percent over the year.

“While Florida’s unemployment rate did not decrease this month, we continue to see positive
signs of stabilization and growth,” said AWI Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo. “In addition to
showing improved over-the-year job creation, Florida posted the largest decrease in the
country last week in the number of people who filed for first-time unemployment benefits.
Combined with increasing numbers of job postings online, this is encouraging news for our
job seekers and our economy.”

Online Job Ads Increase

Florida job postings compiled by the Help Wanted OnLine data series from The Conference
Board totaled 235,464 (seasonally adjusted) in October 2010, representing a fifth consecutive
month of gains and an over-the-year increase of 72,377 job postings in Florida since October
of last year.

The October 2010 job postings represent the highest level of demand since July 2008, when
Help Wanted OnLine showed 235,479 openings.

Consumer Confidence Increases

The Florida Consumer Confidence Index is also showing gains, with a six-point increase from
68 in September to 74 in October based on an index of 100, as reported by the University of
Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research. Perceptions as to whether it is a
good time to buy big-ticket consumer items had the biggest increase of 10 points to 85.
Work Opportunity Tax Credit for Employers

Earlier this month, AWI announced a new online system that helps employers take
advantage of the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC.) This valuable tax break is
available to employers who hire job seekers from several target groups, including veterans,
people receiving public assistance and others. For more information, please visit

Hire a Veteran Month

In recognition of the more than 1.6 million veterans who call Florida home and the significant
value Florida’s veterans bring to the state’s workforce, Governor Charlie Crist has
proclaimed November 2010 Hire a Veteran Month in Florida. Veterans are encouraged to
visit the Florida workforce system’s dedicated web portal that matches skills gained in the
military with current job openings at [Link]

Florida’s Nonagricultural Employment by Industry (Seasonally Adjusted)

• The number of jobs in Florida is 7,215,500 in October 2010, up 35,700 jobs compared to a year
ago. This is the fourth annual increase in jobs since the state started losing jobs in July 2007.
The industry gaining the most jobs is private education and health services (+29,800 jobs, +2.8
percent).
• Other industries gaining jobs include: leisure and hospitality (+25,500 jobs, +2.8 percent); trade,
transportation, and utilities (+14,100, +1.0 percent); other services (+11,300 jobs, +3.7 percent);
and professional and business services (+5,000 jobs, +0.5 percent).
• These industry job gains are partially due to increases in ambulatory health care services;
accommodation; general merchandise stores; membership associations and organizations; and
computer systems design.
• The industries losing jobs over the year include: construction (-13,800 jobs, -3.8 percent),
financial activities (-11,400 jobs, -2.4 percent), information (-8,900 jobs, -6.3 percent),
manufacturing (-8,400 jobs, -2.7 percent), and total government (-7,500 jobs, -0.7 percent).
• These industry job losses are partially due to weakness in specialty trade contractors, real estate,
telecommunications, fabricated metal product manufacturing, and local government.

Note: These unemployment and job growth rates are estimates, which are primarily based on surveys created and mandated by the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.

The unemployment rate is derived from Florida household surveys conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau under contract with the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The job growth rate is derived from Florida employer surveys conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Both estimates are revised on a monthly basis. In addition, these estimates are benchmarked (revised) annually based on actual counts from
Florida's Unemployment Compensation tax records and other data.

New procedures recently mandated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics may result in more variable month-to-month changes. For further
