With Job Growth On the Rise in Florida Now Since June 2014, Fort Lauderdale Job Seekers Must Put Their Best Foot Forward With a Resume That Beats Out the Competition
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 12, 2014 -- Current employment statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Florida added 37,400 jobs in June 2014. The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that June’s job creation represents the single strongest month for job growth in four years, and has served to help lower the state’s unemployment rate down to 6.2%. These statistics and more information can be found here: http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/workinglife/florida-unemployment-drops-job-creation-picks-up/2189019.
This positive growth is a result of a resurgence that is also felt in population growth occurring in the state, and the rise in demand for professional, business, and retail services, as well as housing. The demand for housing has led to an upswing in the construction sector as well. Things are looking up for Florida all around in this economic recovery, not discounting that the state still has a long way to go. This is also encouraging news for the Florida job seeker, as jobs are on the rise in sectors that include government, and almost every other industry, such as information, health, technology, and manufacturing. However, it is necessary to point out that the average Florida wage shows little upward movement, maintaining an average that is still below the national numbers. This means that the Florida job seeker must still fight the good fight in order to outshine the competition when pursuing a top tier position that comes with a generous compensation package.
Utilizing professional services that can effectively market the skills and qualifications of the job seeker will provide an edge over other candidates.
Companies such as Expert Business & Professional Services in Fort Lauderdale work with the job seeker throughout their job search, with resume preparation serving only as the starting point.
