Florida Jobs Grow at Three Times US Rate, Report Shows

Jobs in Florida are growing much faster than the national rate, according to a September employment report.

The office of Gov. Ron DeSantis estimated the job growth at three times that of the nation.

Florida has recorded 17 months of continued private-sector job growth.

Figures from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity show there are more than 520,000 jobs listed online, giving Floridians a wide choice of work opportunities.

The FDEO secretary Dane Eagle said these figures demonstrate the success of the state's "Return to Work" initiative, as Florida's unemployment rate has "Lowered over the year, decreasing by 2.3 percentage points."

"Despite tremendous national headwinds and economic uncertainty, Florida has reached a level of job growth only seen on four other occasions in the past 30 years," DeSantis said in a press release.

While Florida has seen consistent gains in the labor force, the nation saw a drop in job-growth rates.
