          TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July 2011 is 10.7 percent. This
          represents 987,000 jobless out of a labor force of 9,220,000. The state’s unemployment rate is unchanged
          from the revised June 2011 rate of 10.7 percent but is 0.8 percentage point lower than the year ago rate of 11.5
          percent. The U.S. unemployment rate is 9.1 percent in July.

          Florida’s seasonally adjusted total nonagricultural employment in July 2011 is 7,225,800, a decline of 22,100
          jobs (-0.3 percent) from June 2011. From January to July 2011, Florida has gained 64,300 jobs.

          “Mixed signals from economic indicators during recovery are common,” said AWI Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo.
          “Fluctuations in rates of unemployment and job growth are typical examples of starts and stops while the
          economy rebounds and unemployed workers who may have given up looking for work rejoin the workforce. As
          Governor Scott continues to pursue new jobs for our state, our agency is committed to ensuring job seekers
          are connecting with job placement and training services that will position them for these opportunities.”

    Florida’s Nonagricultural Employment by Industry (Seasonally Adjusted)

•   The number of jobs in Florida is 7,225,800 in July 2011, up 28,100 jobs compared to a year ago. July is the
    tenth consecutive month with positive annual job growth since the state started losing jobs in July 2007. The
    industry gaining the most jobs is leisure and hospitality (+41,800 jobs, +4.6 percent).
•   Other industries gaining jobs include private education and health services (+23,400 jobs, +2.2 percent); trade,
    transportation, and utilities (+7,700 jobs, +0.5 percent); professional and business services (+1,600 jobs, +0.2
    percent); and other services (+400 jobs, +0.1 percent).
•   These industry job gains are partially due to increases in food services and drinking places; ambulatory health
    care services; food and beverage stores; management/technical consulting services; and membership
    associations and organizations.
•   Industries losing jobs over the year include: construction (-23,000 jobs, -6.5 percent), total government (-16,900
    jobs, -1.5 percent), information (-5,200 jobs, -3.9 percent), financial activities (-1,600 jobs, -0.3 percent), and
    manufacturing (-300 jobs, -0.1 percent).
•   These industry job losses are partially due to losses in construction of buildings; federal government which
    employed temporary census workers last year; telecommunications; insurance carriers and related activities;
    and miscellaneous manufacturing.

    Local Area Unemployment Statistics (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

•   In July 2011, Monroe County has the state’s lowest unemployment rate (6.6 percent), followed by Walton
    County (6.9 percent), Liberty County (7.2 percent), Okaloosa County (7.4 percent), and Franklin County (7.8
    percent). Most of the counties with the lowest unemployment rates are those with relatively high proportions of
    government employment. Others have seasonal increases in tourism-related employment.
•   Hendry County has the highest unemployment rate (18.8 percent) in Florida in July 2011, followed by Flagler
    County (14.7 percent); Indian River and St. Lucie counties (13.8 percent each); and Hernando County (13.7
    percent). Seasonal declines in agriculture and layoffs in state government contributed to Hendry County’s high
    unemployment rate. There are 44 Florida counties with double-digit unemployment rates in July.

    Area Nonagricultural Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

•   Eleven metro areas of the 22 in the state have over-the-year job gains in July 2011. The areas with the largest
    gains are Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall (+15,900 jobs, +1.7 percent), Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (+10,900 jobs,
    +1.1 percent), and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+10,800 jobs, +1.0 percent).
•   Of the metro areas with job declines, the largest losses are in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville (-5,600 jobs, -2.9
    percent), Naples-Marco Island (-2,800 jobs, -2.6 percent); and Lakeland-Winter Haven (-2,400 jobs, -1.3
    percent).


        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
        information, go to: http://www.bls.gov/sae/cesprocs.htm
