TALLAHASSEE Floridas seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June 2011 is 10.6 percent. This
represents 982,000 jobless out of a labor force of 9,234,000. The states unemployment rate is unchanged from
May 2011 but is 0.8 percentage point lower than the June 2010 rate of 11.4 percent. The U.S. unemployment
rate is 9.2 percent in June.
Floridas seasonally adjusted total nonagricultural employment in June 2011 is 7,247,000, an increase of 4,300
jobs (+0.1 percent) from May 2011. Florida has gained 85,500 jobs from January through June 2011.
While Floridas continued pattern of job growth is good news, we still have much work to do to restore our
states economy to pre-recession levels, and that effort remains our highest priority, said Agency for Workforce
Innovation Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo. Under Governor Scotts leadership and through Floridas nationally
recognized workforce services, we are committed to ensuring our employers and potential employers have the
support they need to succeed and create the jobs that will continue Floridas forward momentum.
Positive News
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce last month recognized Florida as the top state in the nation for workforce
training programs in its Enterprising States report, up from No. 2 the previous year. The rankings are based on
measures including job placement, the affordability and efficiency of a states higher education system and the
number of high school students enrolled in advanced placement courses. The report also touted Floridas Quick
Response Training (QRT) program, which advances job creation and retention by supporting customized skills
upgrade training for new or expanding businesses.
The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey for the third quarter of 2011 finds Florida employers are becoming
more confident about their staffing plans. The survey found 17 percent of the companies interviewed plan to hire
more employees from July to September, while another 70 percent expect to maintain their current staff levels.
Unemployment Compensation Changes
Legislation signed into law last month enacts several changes that will save the state money, reduce taxes on
employers and help get Floridians back to work. Changes taking effect August 1, 2011 include:
Internet Filing and Certification of Weeks Initial and continued claims must be filed over the Internet. The
change will improve government efficiency and provide a projected $4.7 million savings annually in
administrative costs.
Work Search Claimants are required on a weekly basis to contact five potential employers and provide this
information over the Internet during their bi-weekly certification for benefits. A quick, efficient way to contact
employers is by using the Employ Florida Marketplace at employflorida.com, the states online job matching
system where you can search thousands of job postings and apply for jobs.
If a claimant is not able to make at least five employer contacts in a week, meeting with a representative at a
local One-Stop Career Center for reemployment services may satisfy this requirement for that week.
Skills Review In order to receive benefits, claimants filing new claims must complete an initial skills review
over the Internet. The results of the review will be used by local One-Stop Career Centers to assist claimants
with job searches.

The number of jobs in Florida is 7,247,000 in June 2011, up 53,000 jobs compared to a year ago. June is the
ninth consecutive month with positive annual job growth since the state started losing jobs in July 2007. The
industry gaining the most jobs is leisure and hospitality (+46,700 jobs, +5.1 percent).
Other industries gaining jobs include private education and health services (+21,500 jobs, +2.0 percent);
professional and business services (+7,500 jobs, +0.7 percent); trade, transportation, and utilities (+4,400 jobs,
+0.3 percent); other services (+2,300 jobs, +0.7 percent); and manufacturing (+800 jobs, +0.3 percent).
The June increase in manufacturing employment is the first annual gain in manufacturing since June 2006.
These industry job gains are partially due to increases in food services and drinking places; hospitals; legal
services and management/technical consulting services; motor vehicle and parts dealers; repair and
maintenance; and fabricated metal product manufacturing.
Industries losing jobs over the year include: total government (-16,000 jobs, -1.4 percent); construction (-9,400
jobs, -2.7 percent); information (-3,600 jobs, -2.7 percent); and financial activities (-1,300 jobs, -0.3 percent).
These industry job losses are partially due to losses in federal government which employed temporary census
workers last year; construction of buildings; telecommunications; and insurance carriers and related activities.
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In June 2011, Monroe County has the states lowest unemployment rate (6.6 percent), followed by Walton
County (6.9 percent); Liberty County (7.0 percent); Okaloosa County (7.4 percent); and Lafayette County (7.7
percent). Most of the counties with the lowest unemployment rates are those with relatively high proportions of
government employment. Others had seasonal increases in tourism-related employment.
Hendry County has the highest unemployment rate (16.2 percent) in Florida in June 2011, followed by Flagler
County (14.6 percent); Miami-Dade County (13.9 percent); Hernando County (13.8 percent); and Indian River
County (13.5 percent). Seasonal declines in agriculture and related industries contributed to Hendry Countys
high unemployment rate. There were 38 Florida counties with double-digit unemployment rates in June.
Area Nonagricultural Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Twelve metro areas of the 22 in the state have over-the-year job gains in June 2011. The areas with the largest
gains are Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall (+12,700 jobs, +1.3 percent), Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (+8,000 jobs,
+0.8 percent), and Jacksonville (+5,400 jobs, +0.9 percent).
Of the metro areas with job declines, the largest losses are in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville
(-5,500 jobs, -2.8 percent), Cape Coral-Ft. Myers (-3,000 jobs, -1.5 percent), and Naples-Marco Island (-2,500
jobs, -2.3 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 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
