Florida's Unemployment Rate Drops To 9.9% In Florida

Florida has seen a slow, gradual drop in unemployment figures since December of 2010- finally hitting its lowest in two years for January of 2012... 9.9%.

9.9% is .3% lower than December of 2011's 10.3%, as most are optimistic of the Florida Jobless situation's recovery.

However, there has been much debate lately of how the Florida Unemployment rate is even determined, and whether or not the actual unemployment figures released account for the amount of jobless individuals.

...most experts think otherwise.

"The US Labor board has been releasing completely bogus unemployment numbers to say the least. The general public has overlooked what happens to unemployment when there is a shrinking in the labor force numbers all together- of course its going to naturally drop. What the public's REAL concern is, how many more or less people have jobs now than before? When presented with the true jobless figures is when one wakes up to smell the real coffee."  - stated Jennifer Campbell, Unemployment-Extension.Org.
