Floridas August Employment Figures Released

www.employflorida.com

TALLAHASSEE Floridas seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in August 2011 is 10.7 percent. This
represents 987,000 jobless out of a labor force of 9,201,000. The states unemployment rate is unchanged
from July and is 0.9 percentage point lower than the August 2010 rate of 11.6 percent. The U.S. unemployment
rate is 9.1 percent in August.
Floridas seasonally adjusted total nonagricultural employment in August 2011 is 7,233,100, an increase of
9,900 jobs (+0.1 percent) from July 2011. From January to August 2011, Florida has gained 71,600 jobs.
An increase of nearly 10,000 jobs since last month is another positive indication that Floridas employers are
gaining confidence, people are getting back to work, and our state is making progress under Governor Scotts
leadership, said AWI Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo. With the launch next month of the Department of Economic
Opportunity, we are taking a bold step to position Florida as the number one state in the nation to do business
and create jobs.
The Department of Economic Opportunity was created during the 2011 Legislative Session in response to
Governor Scotts priority of establishing a more unified approach and rapid response to job creation through the
consolidation of the states economic development functions. Encompassing responsibilities overseen by AWI,
the Department of Community Affairs and the Governors Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development,
the department becomes operational on October 1, 2011.

Floridas Nonagricultural Employment by Industry (Seasonally Adjusted)

The number of jobs in Florida is 7,233,100 in August 2011, up 46,100 jobs compared to a year ago. August is
the eleventh 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 (+46,400 jobs, +5.1 percent).
Other industries gaining jobs include private education and health services (+22,200 jobs, +2.1 percent); trade,
transportation, and utilities (+11,200 jobs, +0.8 percent); professional and business services (+8,900 jobs, +0.9
percent); financial activities (+1,700 jobs, +0.4 percent); and other services (+200 jobs, +0.1 percent).
These industry job gains are partially due to increases in food services and drinking places; ambulatory health
care services; food and beverage stores; legal services; real estate; and repair and maintenance.
Industries losing jobs over the year include: total government (-20,400 jobs, -1.8 percent), construction (-17,600
jobs, -5.1 percent), information (-5,700 jobs, -4.2 percent), and manufacturing (-800 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 miscellaneous manufacturing.
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In August 2011, Monroe County has the states lowest unemployment rate (6.7 percent), followed by Walton
County (7.0 percent), Liberty County (7.1 percent), Okaloosa County (7.4 percent), and Lafayette County (7.7
percent). Many of the counties with the lowest unemployment rates are those with relatively high proportions of
government employment. Others have seasonal increases in tourism-related employment.
Hendry County has the highest unemployment rate (17.9 percent) in Florida in August 2011, followed by Flagler
County (14.9 percent); Hernando and Indian River counties (13.9 percent each); and St. Lucie County (13.7
percent). Seasonal declines in agriculture and layoffs in state government contributed to Hendry Countys high
unemployment rate. There are 42 Florida counties with double-digit unemployment rates in August.
Area Nonagricultural Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

Thirteen metro areas of the 22 in the state have over-the-year job gains in August 2011. The areas with the
largest gains are Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+14,800 jobs, +1.3 percent), Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall
(+13,900 jobs, +1.4 percent), and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach (+8,100 jobs, +1.6 percent).
Of the metro areas with job declines, the largest losses are in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville (-6,400 jobs, -3.3
percent), Naples-Marco Island (-3,000 jobs, -2.8 percent); and Lakeland-Winter Haven (-2,700 jobs, -1.4
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
