Fishkind Commentary: An In-Depth Look At Florida’s Job Market By The Numbers

Florida’s newest job numbers show the state’s unemployment rate is higher than the nation’s for the first time in more than a year. But economic analyst Hank Fishkind says that’s not the bad news it may seem to be. On the other hand, the report says Florida is one of the top states for job creation, but that positive news is tempered by the fact that the numbers still do not reach pre-recession levels. This week, Fishkind digs into the mixed bag of employment news and tells WMFE’s Nicole Creston what the numbers really mean.
