Where are all these jobs? True,True , Mobile ie far above Escambia County Fl. 0ur children have to go away to get a decent job. These figures the Governor released must be for someplace else. The North end of Escambia County. Is always shafted. They think Molina. Is close enough for Walnut Hill, Century.,Davisville, McDavid and should drive for tags,drivers license, etc to BELOW Molina to get service when we have the Billy Ward Judicial Center up ou way. We cannot get the Health Dept accommodate us. The Sheriff’s Dept have a new building that was a Health facility a few days each month and the poor deputies have to ride the road instead of using the building so it stays CLOSE:D. 24-7. We should NOT FUND anything in the South.

That’s amazing cause I got layed off in June. Jobs, sure like to know were all this so called business is? I guess he talkin about the 5000 people cutting grass with no benefits. I bet he doesn’t show the numbers when winter rolls around and there no grass to cut.

I can say that I scored one of those jobs, a high paying STEM one none the less. (Good looks like these don’t go cheap). Do I think the governor or county had much to do with it, no. You can’t deny that it exists and it is in Florida, though.

Where? I have applied about 200 good decent paying jobs since first of year and have a college degree. Only heard back from one job and had a interview and never heard back from them! It is truly a screw up with what they are doing!

More deception and skewing…here is the data from the BoLS for the Pensacola metro area:
Year Period labor force employment unemployment unemployment rate

2014 Dec 212763 201657 11106 5.2

2015 May 214231 202696 11535 5.4

Look what I did! Now, I can make the statement that unemployment has risen 0.2% since last year.

The county commissioners definitely are not doing anything to stimulate economic growth. I say vote all of those lowlifes out of office. As far as the governor he is a scum bag doing nothing to help the middle class. I am tired of this criminal taking credit for all of these jobs.

Im with bill, where are the jobs in pensacola? yes minimun wage jobs big deal. how come mobile gets all the big paying jobs? the just got amazon warehouse jobs being built. they are trying to get jobs over there and all we get is beach jobs so take care of the vacationers.there is plenty of land that the county owns and they wont even give companies a tax break or let them build for cheap.if the commissioners had to live a miminum wage jobs they might try and get jobs in here.as long as there are no jobs theres gona be more robbing and stealing around here.look at the commerence park on highway 29,that was a waste of money,no businness in there. they can spends millions on soccer fields bu they cant finds companies that want to build here?? whats wrong with that picture.

@ Bill…..Indeed, WHERE are the “New” jobs located, what are the folks doing?
Where are the new businesses or jobs opening up?

Whenever I hear of “New Jobs” makes me wonder, are these really more of a replacement hire for people who have retired, resigned, been let go, moved, etc.?
Or, are they really honest sure nuff NEW jobs?
Does Rick Scott, and other politicians, use just the numbers from Dept of Labor showing when a person’s SSN is entered for an employer or do they balance the outgoing jobs (retirees, left) with the “New” hires?

Politics is mumbo-jumbo and clouds the truth.

Where are said jobs? They are probably minimum wage type jobs and even so I’m not seeing them. Rick Scott is a clown!
