Area Nonagricultural Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In October 2017, 22 out of 24 metro areas in Florida had over-the-year job gains. The areas with the largest gains were Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (+36,800 jobs, +3.0 percent); Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+28,700 jobs, +2.2 percent); and Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall (+27,900 jobs, +2.4 percent).

Note: Hurricane Irma hit Florida on September 10th-during the reference period and caused large-scale evacuations and severe damage to many homes and businesses. The job counts for the month of September showed a sharp over-the-month decline due to the impact of Hurricane Irma. In October, most of these jobs were recovered. The 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 Department of Economic Opportunity. 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 Reemployment Assistance tax records and other data. Procedures mandated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics may result in more variable month-to-month changes. For further information, go to: The mission of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is to promote economic prosperity for all Floridians and businesses through successful workforce, community, and economic development strategies.
