Florida Department of Economic Opportunity

Florida's unemployment rate dropped to an all time low of just 3% in December 2019 as the state added 212,000 jobs over the year. That's according to Friday's announcement by Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity. 90.7's Matthew Peddie sat down with economic analyst Hank Fishkind, president of Fishkind Litigation Services, for a closer look at what's behind 2019's jobs numbers.

The head of Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity is calling her agency’s pending audit of Visit Florida “standard.” Gov. Rick Scott last month ordered a review of the state’s tourism arm amid concerns over how the agency is spending taxpayer dollars.
