Florida TaxWatch Report Finds Job Growth Helping Economy

Florida TaxWatch released a report on Thursday showcasing the increased number of jobs in the Sunshine State and insisting it shows the economy is on the rebound.

"Florida's economy is strengthening every day thanks to the policies enacted by the state Legislature and governor, who have made job creation a priority for Floridians," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch. "More Floridians are working in 2014 than ever before."

"The increase in jobs for the first six months of 2014 shows that our economy is stable and growing," said Jerry Parrish, Florida TaxWatchs chief economist. "These new jobs will further benefit Florida by increasing the state's sales and use tax revenues, due to more Floridians having more disposable income."
