Despite a pretty significant job loss in the wake of Hurricane Irma, Florida's unemployment rate is down once again.
State officials say the unemployment rate for September was 3.8 percent -- down 0.2 points from August and lower than the national rate of 4.2 percent.
Gov. Rick Scott said Hurricane Irma was the main reason for the drop in jobs.
There were 383,000 jobless Floridians out of a workforce of 10.1 million people.
Okaloosa and St. Johns counties had the lowest unemployment rate at 2.7 percent, followed by Franklin, Wakulla and Walton counties at 2.9 percent.
Hendry County had the highest unemployment rate at 8.6 percent, followed by Hardee County at 6 percent and Glades County at 5.3 percent.
