Jacksonville’s adjusted unemployment rate climbed nearly three-tenths of a percent to 10.85 percent in February, The Local Economic Indicators Project at the University of North Florida’s Coggin College of Business reported today.
University of North Florida economist Paul Mason said the center’s adjusted unemployment figure for January, originally posted at 10.4 percent, has been revised to 10.57 percent. State-released unadjusted unemployment figures for the Jacksonville metro area were 12.1 percent for both January and February, but they were revised to different figures due to differing local employment market conditions in those months.
