Other Current Regional Employment Trends and Considerations: • The state added 206,900 jobs in October over the number a year ago. All industry sectors added jobs except information, which includes Internet service providers and data processing. • Florida saw more job-quitters in October: 8.8 percent of the total unemployed left jobs, up from 8.5 percent a month earlier, while 27.2 percent re-entered the market, up from 26.7 percent. And 11.7 percent were new job-seekers, up from 11.1 percent. • The state still has a large number of"under-employed" workers - people who are over- qualified for their jobs but took them for economic reasons. But that should improve as employers begin to hire at a faster pace. • Despite major strides, the state's construction industry is still 226,100 jobs under its pre- recession level and 277,300 jobs below the peak in 2006. • Florida's job recovery has been broad-based, with strong growth in education services and tourism sectors. Even with retail and tourism jobs taken out of the mix, Florida is outpacing the nation on job growth. • In South Florida, future job growth will come mostly from business and professional services, a wide category that includes legal services, management, and consulting, engineering and technology-related jobs. • Movement of goods is becoming more important in the state, with most ports expanding. Transportation and warehouse employment is up 3.8 percent in Florida. Clobus, McLemore & Duke, Inc.
