Florida’s February 2009 unemployment rate is the highest since April 1976

In February Florida's unemployment rate is 9.4%. This is up from January's 8.8% and higher than the national rate of 8.1%

Comment on the efforts to improve unemployment situation from the Agency for Workforce Innovation:

“To help reinvigorate Florida’s economy, Governor Charlie Crist recently announced the infusion of $165 million in federal economic stimulus funds to directly benefit both job seekers and businesses,” said Agency Interim Director Cynthia Lorenzo. “These funds will provide critically-needed training and job placement services including summer employment opportunities for young people and assistance for Floridians at One-Stop Career Centers around the state.”
