The latest ADP Regional Employment Report credits the Sunshine State with adding 21,400 private sector jobs during the month of June.
Released Thursday, the report shows Florida’s growth second to only California, which during the same period saw 31,800 private sector jobs created.
ADP estimates an increase of 400 jobs in Florida’s goods-producing sector and an increase of 21,000 jobs in the state’s service-producing sector.
Breaking down by industry: 100 natural resource, mining and construction jobs were created; 300 manufacturing jobs were realized; 4,300 professional and businesses services jobs became a reality, and 5,000 trade, transportation, and utility jobs came into existence.
The June ADP Report’s regional break-down has Florida’s south region gaining the highest number of private sector jobs nationwide, with 94,000 total jobs having been created in June 2015.
The three other top national areas recognized by ADP are the West, which added 60,000 private sector jobs, the Midwest, which added 44,000 private sector jobs, and the Northeast, which added 38,000 new private sector jobs — all in June.
Overall, the nation put together 237,000 new private sector jobs during this same time period.
The report measures the change in regional and state non-farm private employment each month, on a seasonally adjusted basis. Its July 2015 report is scheduled for Aug. 12 release.
