NOTE TO EDITORS: Every March, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Florida
Agency for Workforce Innovation release January employment and unemployment estimates as well as revised
historical data. Today’s report is the result of that annual process, which is known as “benchmarking.” These
benchmark revisions are a standard part of the estimation process and take place this same time every year in
each state nationwide. As a result of this annual benchmarking process, the release of January and February
2011 employment data is scheduled for March 10 and March 25, respectively.
TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in January 2011 is 11.9 percent,
down slightly from the December 2010 rate of 12.0 percent. This represents 1,100,000 jobless out of
a labor force of 9,276,000.
Florida’s total nonagricultural employment in January 2011 is 7,164,700, a decline of 12,900 jobs (-0.2
percent) from December 2010. Over the year, jobs are up by 8,400, an increase of 0.1 percent from
January 2010.
“While Florida’s unemployment rate is still unacceptably high, we are seeing positive signs that
employers are starting to hire,” said Agency for Workforce Innovation Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo.
“An increase in online advertisements for full-time jobs coupled with an increase in Florida’s
Consumer Confidence Index indicates that our business owners and families are increasingly
optimistic about Florida’s economic recovery. As Governor Scott moves forward with his bold pro-
business agenda, that optimism will continue.”
Consumer Confidence
Florida’s Consumer Confidence Index for February remained steady at 77 as reported by the
University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research, unchanged from the January rate
and maintaining the significant improvement over the past three years. More Floridians now feel it is
a good time to buy big-ticket items, and Floridians’ perceptions of the U.S. economy over the next
year also improved slightly. Factors contributing to Floridians’ confidence include an upward trend in
the stock market, a steady increase in wages and several companies announcing intentions to hire
more employees.
The percentage of online ads for full-time jobs compiled by the Help Wanted OnLine data series from
The Conference Board increased from 67 percent of total ads in September 2010 - when the full-time
job postings began to increase - to 71 percent in February 2011. Florida had an over-the-year
increase of 27,825 job postings compared to February 2010. Major occupational groups with the
most online ads in February were sales and related occupations; healthcare practitioners and
technical occupations; office and administrative support occupations; and management occupations.

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
