You're also sputtering more inaccuracy about Central Florida having the worst job market in the state, as numbers clearly illustrate... not so much.

See below:


Unemployment Rates By Metro Area (September 2011)

Jacksonville 10.0%
Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford 10.2%
Miami-Fort Lauderdale 10.6%
Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach 10.8%
Tampa-St Pete-Clearwater 10.8%


Unemployment Rates for Metropolitan Areas

Unemployment? I said nothing about unemployment. If you go to any job board site and randomly look for a job in any other metro besides Central Florida (The other three Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, South Florida) there are more job opportunities available. Unemployment can simply be lazy people, thus not measuring accuracy by the amount of employment opportunities available.


And no you don't have room to talk. sanford is a sad place in Seminole county which is also sad.

Most of the happiest cities were in the north with four seasons and a more stable economy.

Wow, more personal opinion and no facts. That's convincing. In terms of where I live in Sanford, it's not sad actually and neither is Seminole County in general though given your personal experience with living here might expect comments like that. Lastly given your rhetoric, you actually sound quite sad and perhaps it's reflective of your sad living conditions. Good luck with that.

Part of the ranking system was "unemployment rate". It didn't care whether that was caused by "lazy people" or true lack of jobs. (LOL)

As for Seminole County, it's known as one of the best counties in FL for quality of life (and has one of the lowest child poverty percentages). Seminole is not sad by FL standards.

Nothing says depression like endless summer.

Oh, tell me how endless Summer drepresses me! I guess I am just a miserable person who if I cannot be happy here won't be happy ANYWHERE!

I am leaving this Saturday for an "early" trip up North to look for a job up there and to spend the Holidays with my kids, one of whom is getting engaged! I am VERY VERY happy to be leaving. I guess after a few weeks I will be back to my "miserable" self.

A stable economy is a beautiful thing. Four seasons aren't to bad either.

What a subjective and silly survey. I'd be much sadder living in Fargo, ND or Sioux Falls, SD than living anywhere in central FL
