"The unemployment rate is not likely to come down farther, but the economy might slow a bit, if the labor force doesn't expand," said William Stronge, economics professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. "Florida has been getting a lot of workers coming in from the rest of the country, but that pool is diminishing."

Well, there just has to be a bright side somewhere. This idiot apparently believes that such a low jobless rate will help slow down the economy. Perhaps rats won't be throwing themselves to gators in the 'glades after all. Pity.

Anyway, here's a start to your "bright and cheery" morning - Enjoy!

Florida's gators will have the Democrats for food... if the voters don't slap 'em down in November!

I moved to Boca Raton 4 years ago.

House prices have become insane, probably up by 3x since then.

We have 1000 families a day moving here and God knows how many illegal workers.

We are a "right to work" state, that is labor unions have it tough here, we have no car inspection, and no state income tax.

Democrats stay away.

...and far below the nation's 4.6 percent unemployment mark

Bush's fault, and I don't mean "W", LOL.

Oh that's going to leave a mark,...in '08. Nothing would be better than watching the Hildebeast run against Jeb.

Jobless rate near bottom

By Harriet Johnson Brackey South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted June 17 2006

Must be a liberal paper. I counted three "but monkeys" on this obviously good news.

Maybe the rate of job creation is slowing based on the ability to have those jobs filled.
