The number of jobs in Florida was 7,371,500 in October 2012, up 67,600 jobs compared to a year ago.
October was the 27th consecutive month with positive annual job growth after the state lost jobs for three
years. The industry gaining the most jobs was professional and business services (+25,600 jobs, +2.4
percent).
Other industries gaining jobs included trade, transportation, and utilities (+23,300 jobs, +1.5 percent); private
education and health services (+23,100 jobs, +2.1 percent); leisure and hospitality (+12,500 jobs, +1.3
percent); and financial activities (+6,900 jobs, +1.4 percent).
These industry job gains were partially due to increases in employment services; food and beverage stores;
ambulatory health care services; food services and drinking places; and real estate.
Industries losing jobs over the year included total government (-12,900 jobs, -1.2 percent); construction
(-4,900 jobs, -1.5 percent); other services (-4,200 jobs, -1.4 percent); information (-1,000 jobs, -0.8 percent);
and manufacturing (-900 jobs, -0.3 percent).
These industry job losses were partially due to declines in local and state government; heavy and civil
engineering construction; membership organizations; telecommunications; and chemical manufacturing.
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In October 2012, Monroe County (4.7 percent) had the states lowest unemployment rate, followed by Walton
County (5.4 percent), Okaloosa County (5.7 percent), and Wakulla County (5.9 percent). Many of the
counties with the lowest unemployment rates were those with relatively high proportions of government
employment.
Hendry County had the highest unemployment rate (12.6 percent) in Florida in October 2012, followed by
Flagler County (11.3 percent), St. Lucie County (10.9 percent), Putnam County (10.3 percent) and Indian
River County (10.2 percent). There were 6 Florida counties with double-digit unemployment rates in
October, down from 12 in September.
Area Nonagricultural Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Thirteen metro areas of the 22 in the state had over-the-year job gains in October 2012. The areas with the
largest gains were Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (+21,700 jobs, +2.1 percent), Tampa-St. PetersburgClearwater (+19,300 jobs, +1.7 percent), and Jacksonville (+6,300 jobs, +1.1 percent).
Of the metro areas with job declines, the largest losses were in Cape Coral-Ft. Myers (-2,800 jobs, -1.4
percent), Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach (-2,100 jobs, -1.3 percent), Crestview-Ft. Walton BeachDestin (-2,000 jobs, -2.5 percent), and Port St. Lucie (-1,700 jobs, -1.4 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 Department of Economic Opportunity.
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 Reemployment Assistance tax records and other data.
Procedures mandated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics may result in more variable month-to-month changes. For further information,
