Dade's jobless rate is best in 20 years : "
MIAMI -- June 20, 2005 -- South Florida's steady but strong economic growth has pushed the jobless rate in Miami-Dade County down to a level not seen in 20 years, and Broward County is enjoying virtually full employment.

Last month, the unemployment rate in Miami-Dade County dropped to 4.3 percent, its lowest level since the mid-1980s. In May 2004, it stood at 5.5 percent.

In May, Broward's jobless rate dipped to 3.8 percent -- a level so low that qualified workers in the county can quickly find new jobs. The unemployment rate there was at 4.6 percent in May 2004."
