Volusia-Flagler employers created more than 1,500 jobs
But the pool of available workers increased by more than 5,000
DAYTONA BEACH Unemployment rates in January jumped in both Volusia and Flagler counties despite a modest increase in new jobs, according to the latest employment statistics released by the state.
Christine Sikora, however, sees that increase as a positive sign. It means more people are going back into actively job searching, said the vice president of innovative workforce solutions for CareerSource Flagler Volusia.
The number of people employed in the combined two-county area rose in January by 1,575, compared to December, according to the latest workforce statistics provided by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
