“Fueled by strong gains in South Florida, the state is leading the nation in job growth.
Adding another 277,700 jobs in September, Florida’s supercharged economy also posted a 3.5 percent unemployment rate for the month, a record low,” reports The Miami Herald.

“The state also ranked No. 1 in the nation for the number of new jobs added in August and posted the fastest job growth rate — 3.4 percent — of the 10 most populous states, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers released Friday by the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.”
