The region's job market improved in May as Palm Beach County's unemployment rate fell to its lowest point in two years.
Palm Beach County's jobless rate dipped to 10.2 percent from 10.3 percent in April even as more people looked for work, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation said Friday.
"We think this is a positive commentary on a slow but steady recovery in the area's economy," said Kathryn Schmidt, president and chief executive of Workforce Alliance, the non-profit employment organization for Palm Beach County.
Martin County unemployment fell to 10.1 percent from 10.4 percent in April. St. Lucie County bucked the trend of falling jobless rates - unemployment there rose to 12.5 percent in May from 12.3 percent in April.
