Good afternoon,
This week we made an exciting announcement for our state.
Florida’s unemployment rate for January 2014 was down to 6.1 percent, the lowest unemployment rate in the Sunshine State since June 2008. Florida businesses have also created more than 500,000 new private sector jobs in Florida since December 2010 - that’s half a million jobs in just over three years.
We have come a long way in three years, and it is clear businesses and families are seeing the amazing benefits of Florida’s economic turnaround. Let’s keep working to create an opportunity economy where businesses can continue to grow and every person who wants a job can have one.

Have a great weekend
Rick Scott, Governor
