The metro added 39,200 new jobs year-over-year through July, a 3% increase, compared to the 2.5% national average. Unemployment in the metro has also fallen — to 5.2%, its lowest point on both levels since late 2007. Growth was led by the leisure and hospitality segment, which added 15,300 jobs. Tourism hit record levels in the Sunshine State in 2014, and that trend should continue, given lower gasoline prices that make travel less expensive. The education and health services segment, which caters to the area’s large senior population, added 8.900 jobs. The trade, transportation and utilities sector added 7,800 jobs, boosted by the strength of Port Tampa Bay as well as the significant industrial activity in the Lakeland area, which is home to the Publix corporate headquarters and an Amazon distribution center. Tampa’s housing segment, which collapsed during the recession, is again picking up steam once again, leading to the addition of 1,700 construction jobs. Employment growth was virtually flat in the government and financial activities sectors and negative in the information sector, despite the high concentration of finance and insurance companies in the region. Three Fortune 500 firms are based in the metro: IT products distributor and service provider Tech Data Corp., electronics Rent: YoY vs National Supply: Percentage of Stock manufacturerEmployment Jabil Growth: Circuit YoY and 6mo-avg healthcare company WellCare Health Plans.
