What's Going On ??? / Florida jobless rate hits 9.4 percent, highest since 1976

"The Greatest Ever"

- Mr. V

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida's unemployment rate hit 9.4 percent in February, the highest rate in nearly 33 years, the state labor department said Friday.

It was 8.8 percent in January, according to revised figures also released Friday.

South Florida's February rate was 8.2 percent.

County rates were as follows:

Broward: 8.3 percent.

Miami-Dade: 7.5 percent.

Monroe: 6.2 percent.

Palm Beach: 9.7 percent.

The state lost nearly 50,000 jobs during the month, for a total of 400,000 during the past year.

Both the monthly and yearly losses ranked second in the nation, with only California losing more.

On a percentage basis, the number of jobs in Florida fell 5.1 percent compared to this time last year. That put us at fourth place in the nation, behind Arizona, Michigan and Nevada.

Construction accounted for a quarter of Florida's losses, but every industry lost jobs except private education and healthcare, according to the labor department, which is officially called the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.

South Florida was better off than some other parts of the state, however. Eleven of Florida's 23 metropolitan areas had jobless rates in the dible digits. Flagler County, which is on the east coast between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, had the state's worst unemployment rate, 14.2 percent.

Fashawn - “Midnight Groove” Freestyle




As far as Hip-Hop goes these days there isn't much that moves me, it took some deep thought and introspection for me to even make this post. With that being said, "Fashawn" really goes in on this.

He can spit and most of his work is well-thought and original. So far so good from what I heard.

Fashawn is rapper from Fresno, CA. He has an upcoming project called Boy Meets World with producer Exile (find "Below the Heavens" immediately if you haven't heard it).
