A national labor market analytics company has ranked Florida as number one in attracting a skilled workforce, which it attributed to the state’s focus on training workers with technical skills and credentials.

For the past seven years, Lightcast’s 2022 Talent Attraction Scorecard has announced county rankings based on trends in education, overall job change, migration, skilled job change, competitive effect (jobs created above or below what is expected), and skilled job openings.
