The Office of Governor Rick Scott:

Dear Friend, I am excited to announce the creation of the 36,000 new jobs over the month of January. Today’s announcement further adds to the celebration of more than one million jobs created in Florida in only five years and more than $1 billion in taxes cut over the last two years. These are incredible milestones for Florida’s economic growth, and we will continue our focus on creating even more jobs and cutting even more taxes.  Here are some other points you can share about Florida’s economy with your friends and family:  Private-sector industries gaining the most jobs over the year in January were professional and business services with 66,300 new jobs; leisure and hospitality with 50,500 new jobs; and trade, transportation, and utilities with 39,900 new jobs. Florida job postings showed 287,651 openings in January 2016. During January 2016, Florida’s 24 regional workforce boards reported more than 28,843 Floridians, including 1,417 veterans, were placed in jobs. We will keep working to cut taxes for families and businesses so our economy can grow and Florida can become first in the nation for jobs. Sincerely, Rick Scott Governor Read the press release HERE.
