Governor Charlie Crist is listening to stories from Florida’s unemployed.

Wednesday Crist toured a Workforce Plus sponsored job fair and met with people looking for work. Florida’s unemployment rate is at a 15 year high at 7.3 percent. Crist said it important to encourage people to keep looking for work.

“This is so important and that’s why we have to keep working and keep pushing forward and create opportunities for people to be employed. I would encourage all Floridians who are looking for work to go to the website, www.employflorida.com, one word. It’s important to continue to push forward, help our fellow Floridians do everything we can,” said Crist.

The state will release the latest unemployment figures for Florida on Friday, January 23rd.
