During his campaign for Governor, you could not escape hearing about Rick Scott's "7-7-7". Seven steps to 700,000 jobs over seven years.

PolitiFact has been keeping track of the governor's progress on his job's promise, and the accuracy of that promise, itself. Editor Angie Holan updates WUSF's Craig Kopp.
