Florida’s unemployment rate for June holds steady for third straight month

Florida’s general unemployment rate for June held steady at 3.3% for the third month in a row, according to figures released by the Florida Department of Commerce (DOC).

The jobless numbers come as Florida has increased its annual gross domestic product (GDP) to $1.6 trillion, which is now the world’s 16th largest GDP.

Meanwhile, Florida’s unemployment rate remains lower than the national figure, which is 4.1%. It’s the 44th straight month that Florida’s jobless figures have been lower than the figure across America.

Florida Secretary of Commerce Alex Kelly heaped praise on Gov. Ron DeSantis for helping establish a bullish economy across the state.
