Jacksonville, Florida's Unemployment Rate Under 10%

Those of you who read my posts (which are usually daily) you know that I focus on the positive side of life.

I've blogged in the past few weeks about Jacksonville Beach homes sales up 40% comparing April 2010 to April 2011, and Atlantic Beach home sales are up 69% comparing April 2010 to April 2011.

This was too good  headline to pass up and not write about.

For the first time in 2 years, our local unemployment rate is under 10%.  This continues with positive economic growth locally for the past five months, and is great news.
