TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s unemployment rate remained unchanged in July amid signs that the state’s economy continues a slow, but steady recovery from the depths of the Great Recession.

New numbers released by the state show that the jobless rate was 6.2 percent last month. That’s the same as it was in June and the same rate it has been for much of the year. The state’s unemployment rate matches the U.S. rate.
