Rick Scott Announces 350 New Verizon Jobs in Lake Mary

On Friday, Gov. Rick Scott announced Verizon will add 350 additional jobs to the 750 announced in their Lake Mary finance center which was launched last year.

Verizons growing commitment to Central Florida is great news for the families of the area, Scott said. Todays announcement of 350 new jobs means that more Floridians will be able to find a meaningful job with a great company. Since December 2010, Florida has created 563,000 private-sector jobs, and our unemployment rate remains below the national average. We must continue to remain focused on creating an environment where companies like Verizon can continue to succeed and every Floridian has the opportunity to get a great job.
