TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for July 2010 is 11.5 percent, up
marginally by 0.1 percentage point over the previous month. This represents 1,055,000 jobless out of
a labor force of 9,214,000. The June unemployment rate for Florida was 11.4 percent.
Florida’s total nonagricultural employment in July 2010 is 7,238,800, representing an increase of 5,700
jobs (+0.1 percent) over the previous month. Florida’s annual rate of job growth is up slightly (less than
+0.1 percent), an increase of 2,700 jobs. This growth is the first over-the-year increase in jobs since
June 2007. Nationally, the number of jobs is down slightly over the past year.
“This month’s marginal increase in the unemployment rate is accompanied by the encouraging news of
an increase in jobs. As our economy continues to slowly recover, we remain dedicated to supporting
Floridians and their families," said AWI Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo. "Most recently, our agency's
efforts include expediting payments for the two recent federal unemployment compensation extensions.
In less than three weeks, we have paid more than $294 million to nearly 279,000 unemployed workers.”
Last month, actions by Governor Crist and the federal government extended the two unemployment
compensation programs that had expired earlier in the year, the Emergency Unemployment
Compensation (EUC) program and the Extended Benefits (EB) program. For Florida businesses, these
extensions are 100% federally funded and do not impact the state’s Unemployment Compensation
Trust Fund or the state business tax.
EUC provides up to 53 weeks of federally-funded benefits for those who have exhausted their regular
state claim. The new law did not create additional weeks of benefits but did extend the qualification
deadline through November 2010. The agency began paying EUC benefits to qualified customers
within one week of the legislation’s enactment and is on track to pay $3.6 billion to 527,000 people
through April 2011.
EB provides up to 20 additional weeks of federally-funded benefits to people who exhaust all regular
state benefits and EUC benefits, provided the state is in an EB period. Governor Crist signed Executive
Order 10-170 on July 23, 2010, which extended Florida’s EB period by six months. The agency is on
track to pay $604 million to 250,000 people by December 4, 2010.

Statistics Program, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
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 US 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
