Wake up and good morning. Good news on the jobs front for a very employment-challenged (11.9 percent jobless rate) Florida. Economics consulting firm Moody's Economy.com recently issued a forecast for job growth both by state and metro area. And Florida is looking a lot stronger ahead than most parts of the country. Just a brief word of caution. Any job growth shown by "percentage" will look better when you're starting so low in the jobless hole. But let's take what we can get. Moody's did not have to assign strong numbers to Florida job growth at all -- and other parts of the country look far more anemic ahead -- so let's go with the flow and see what the Moody's forecast says.
Just so we know what time frame we're talking about, Moody's Economy.com's forecasted job growth for the year ahead, from the third quarter of 2010 to the third quarter of 2011.

Thanks for that post! And just to go along with it, here is an article from today's Sarasota Herald:

Venice window maker PGT poised to create 400 jobs | HeraldTribune.com

There have been quite a few articles posted lately for the Sarasota/Bradenton area adding jobs.

Florida needed some good news because it's not easy for the state, but I can see bright days again

Jacksonville already leads the 4 major metros in unemployment rates (less unemployment), but here is an article from yesterday:

Jacksonville Business Journal: BofA to add 1,000 More Jobs in Jacksonville

This on top of Deutsche Bank adding 850 jobs here this year with another 150 to come in the next few months. BofA Merrill Lynch employs 7,000 people in the city.

Florida is quietly coming back. I think Governor Scott, being the businessman that he is, will make Florida more business-friendly. The real estate market is also improving. Here in Miami investors are gobbling up foreclosures and distressed properties and the real estate inventory is slowly shrinking. Anyone interested in buying property in Florida, especially South Florida, the great deals are slowly passing away. Condos under $100 thousand will be history within 2 years. In fact, even now you may have to settle for the crumbs for anything under 100k.
