If you’re looking to find a job in Florida, a new report might be discouraging.
A recent analysis from Bizjournals ranked Florida as the third-worst state when it comes to weathering the recession. The survey looked at the recent economic records of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Each state’s results were compared to corresponding national averages in six categories.
