Last night a talking head said "The unemployment rate didn't go down this month, but people are feeling better and that's whats important"
That's because more people actually reentered the workforce looking for jobs.
A friend of my daughters moved in with us last night from Alabama, he moved back because when he visited last weekend he saw 50 placed hiring...from 7/11 in Melbourne to a hotel on Cocoa Beach.. He moved to Alabama 2 years ago because there wasn't a single job here to get.. That's changed.
Here's why.Florida was among the last states to see its unemployment rate peak. It hit 12 percent in December 2010. Since then, Florida’s recovery has been among the fastest in the country. The state added 13,000 private-sector jobs in 2011, according to Mark Wilson, president of the Florida Chamber of Commerce. The state’s jobless rate finished 2011 below 10 percent.
Of course, Rick Scott will take credit for somethiing he didn't do. Then when he starts laying off all the state employees with the new budget he'll blame that on Obama.
