Florida’s Unemployment Rate Drops to ‘Another Historic Low’ (theepochtimes.com) PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–Florida’s unemployment rate continues to outpace the national averages, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Oct. 21, saying The Sunshine State has hit “another historic low,” despite the devastating impact of Hurricane Ian. DeSantis announced that the state’s September unemployment rate dropped to 2.5 percent. It is the second lowest rate in state recorded history and the lowest since October 2006, the governor’s office said in a written statement. “Florida’s economy continues to outpace the national average,” DeSantis said in a prepared release. “Floridians are finding jobs, and our state’s businesses are thriving.” While inflation continues to surge nationally under current federal policies, and with “Southwest Florida recovering from Hurricane Ian, Florida has maintained sound fiscal and economic policies that will help us mitigate these challenges,” the governor said.
This is not great news. But it’s funny how you guys touted it a a few weeks ago for Biden as great news. I posted it wasn’t good news. Got a bunch of disagrees and come on man’s and now you are saying the same thing. Amazing stuff
Could make this argument in the opposite direction too. Same people who are touting this are the people who ignore low federal unemployment to argue that the economy is in shambles. Consistency and politics don't mesh well.
4-5%. scarcity of a vital input is not good. Between last post & this one, I popped into an advisory board meeting where we discussed the freak out due to falling qualified applicants. imagine going to buy beer & there is only a few six packs of over priced bud light
