Florida’s job growth rate is three times the national rate, seeing 17 consecutive months of growth, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Friday.
“Happy to report at a time of economic uncertainty, a lot of headwinds coming out of Washington, DC, that for the month of September, Florida added over 84,000 new jobs,” the Florida governor, who has continued to face a wave of scrutiny from the establishment media and blue state leaders for refusing to implement restrictive mandates, announced Friday.
“That’s a big chunk of the national numbers that were reported in September,” he added, vowing to continue to work to provide an environment for people to “work and live and thrive for themselves and their families.”
Overall, Florida gained 84,500 jobs total, 72,500 of which are private sector jobs. It added 50,000 workers over the last month, representing a “5.4% increase over-the-year, which is significantly higher than the national rate of 0.8%,” according to DeSantis’s office.
The Sunshine State has added over one million jobs since April 2020, near the beginning of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. The state’s unemployment rate currently sits at 4.9 percent.
“We’re happy to be able to continue to momentum. We’ve got a lot more to do, and we’ve to a lot of challenges with some of the things that are happening at the national level,” he said, adding they are “going to continue to fight hard to make Florida a great place.”

Agree. I grew up in CA. We’ve been in NE Florida for a decade now. I’ve seen this movie before. It has a bad ending.
A lot of good folks are whistling past the graveyard on FL and do not want to see that California is our future, too.
My condo building in Fort Walton Beach has more cars with New York plates in the parking lot than Florida plates. They’re not visiting, they’re living there.
