Latest report is a “mixed bag” for Flagler County
Flagler County’s March 2025 unemployment rate measured 4.1%, a 0.5% decrease from February’s 4.6% unemployment rate, according to the latest data release from Florida Commerce.
“The March 2025 unemployment report is a mixed bag for Flagler County,” said Greg Blosé, CEO of local analytics and marketing firm, Nexus 360. “On one hand, the unemployment rate declined by a half-percent, month-over-month. On the other hand, it’s still a higher unemployment rate than we experienced at this time last year”
Blose continued, “Year-over-year, Flagler County has 196 fewer people employed. Looking ahead, Flagler County is expected to grow jobs and decrease its unemployment rate as the tourism industry hires talent in advance of summer. We will be watching to see if recent national economic headwinds and lower consumer sentiment impact Flagler County’s prime job growth season.”
The number of Flagler County residents that are employed (either working in this county or another county) increased from 53,023 in February 2025 to 53,304 in March 2025, an increase of 281 residents.
