Florida Ranked #5th for Top Places for Jobs
We recently shared on Issue #47, based on Lightcast’s ‘23 report that Florida ranks #1 for talent attraction in the nation. WalletHub conducted a study which compared all 50 states across 34 key indicators of job-market strength and economic vitality. The data set included employment growth, job opportunities, monthly average starting salary, average work week length, job satisfaction, job security, work-related stress and the unemployment rate.
See below for how Florida placed in the other key categories.
23rd – Job Opportunities
6th – Employment Growth
12th – Monthly Average Starting Salary
16th – Unemployment Rate
27th – Avg. Length of Work Week (in Hours)
10th – Job Satisfaction
Considering all the categories, Florida ranked fifth overall. That puts Florida #1 in the Southeast among best states for jobs.
