The three cities are slightly below the state's average unemployment level, 2.6%, which is 0.8% below the national average, Florida's government reported .

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) took notice of the trend and touted the state's figures last month.

“Florida is No. 1 in net migration, tourism, and new business formations because we have bucked the elites and forged our own path forward towards success,” he was quoted as saying. “We will continue to prioritize policies that support Florida families as they continue to face persistent inflation and national economic headwinds.”

“Thanks to Gov. DeSantis’ commitment to Florida’s future, Floridians can trust in Florida’s workforce, businesses, and communities for years to come,” acting Secretary Meredith Ivey of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity said. “Florida’s unemployment rate is consistently below the national average, and the private sector continues to generate jobs, creating nearly 30,000 jobs over the month in January 2023.”

Indianapolis and Minneapolis were the two non-Florida cities on the list of five large cities with the lowest levels of unemployment.

As for the opposite end of the spectrum, Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and Cleveland had the highest unemployment rates among large U.S. cities. All had unemployment levels well above the national average. Las Vegas, the city with the highest unemployment, had a 5.7% unemployment rate.
