Dec 25, 2024

Florida’s unemployment rate ticked up to 3.4 percent in November, after holding steady at 3.3 percent since April, according to a report released Friday by the state Department of Commerce. The new rate reflects an estimated 376,000 Floridians qualifying as out of work in mid-November — 7,000 more than in October — from a labor force of 11.015 million people.
