Central Florida Region leads the State in adding New Jobs (6,200 of them)!

Yes, we are always looking for the good news in Central Florida Employment. Like you, I read the headlines and follow the statistics. On Saturday, we found out that the Orlando area added a lot of jobs. You can read the story about 6,200 new jobs added in April in Central Florida. The unemployment rate is holding steady as well at 4.9%. So what gives? Why are we not having street parties celebrating that the Orlando region is in a “glass bubble”, not affected by unemployment issue other states have? Why can the Orlando Job market breath at little easier when all you read about is gloom and doom?

The answer is…..Hospitality and healthcare! Once again, Central Florida is proving why we are on the path to becoming a WORLD CLASS CITY. We lend the world a tremendous tourist activity with all the venue’s we offer. The foreign travel to our country and particular Orlando is keeping the lights on. Our regions investments in advertising globally and in North America are paying huge dividends driving visitors.

All this means are jobs.

At OrlandoJobs.com, it is a fact that our clients are being more careful to hire in these market conditions. With home prices falling and gas almost at 4.00 a gallon, it kind of does feel a little bad out there. However, you live in a region that we have outstanding opportunities. If you are an accountant, look in the healthcare and hospitality industry. That is where the action is and no matter what you do, companies in those areas could have a job that meets your requirements. They have a lot of hourly jobs, but they also have a lot of professional jobs!
