November Saw More Job Openings in Miami

Despite maintaining a high level of unemployment, there were still plenty of job openings in Miami last November.

That month, the Miami area's unemployment rate dropped to 13 percent after remaining at 13.1 percent for two consecutive months. Unfortunately, that rate is still much higher than the national average of 9.8 percent.

However, the area still continued adding jobs during November, going from 979,500 workers during October to 987,100 workers during November. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is a .5 percent increase in employment when compared to 2009.

The trade, transportation, and utilities industry accounted for the majority of the area's monthly employment gain, adding 3,900 jobs to its workforce. That was followed by the government's addition of 1,800 workers.

Four other industries also saw a monthly increase in employment, including: education and health services by 900 jobs; leisure and hospitality by 800 jobs; other services by 500 jobs; and information by 100 jobs.

Employment in the mining and logging industry remained even over the month and year with 300 jobs. All other industries lost jobs during November.

Only three industries managed to see a yearly increase in employment. The leisure and hospitality industry experienced the biggest growth, increasing by 3.3 percent, for a current total of 105,300 workers.

That was followed by the education and health services industry, which grew by 2.8 percent to 164,100 jobs, and the trade, transportation, and utilities industry, which increased by 2.4 percent to 250,500 workers.

Industries that saw an over-the-year decrease in employment include:

• Construction by 7 percent to 31,800 jobs
• Manufacturing by 5.3 percent to 34,000 jobs
• Information by 5.2 percent to 16,500 jobs
• Financial activities by 3.2 percent to 61,100 jobs
• Professional and business services by .5 percent to 130,000 jobs
• Other services by .5 percent to 39,000 jobs
• Government by .5 percent to 154,500 jobs
