Well, that's good news?

Hey, Great News!!!

Or is it?

Ocala's unemployment rate held steady at 13.4 percent from September to October, the fifth-highest rate among 23 metro areas in the state, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.

The number of jobless was actually down in the metro area, which covers all of Marion County, from 18,643 to 18,549.

Our unemployment rate stayed the same!! Well, it didn't go up again, so yep, that is a little good news. But not great.

Also this: "But the number of employed was also down slightly, from 120,700 to 120,332, reflecting a shrinking labor force."

Oh, well. So yeah, let's be glad we're treading water. Ya' takes yer good news as you find it, I guess.
