Brevard County Real Estate Market Report for September 2022


Unemployment Rates

A healthy economy has a 3-5% unemployment rate, however a 3-5% unemployment rate does not always indicate a healthy economy.


National Unemployment Rate


2021 2022



Adams Insight: 3% to 4% unemployment rate is great. The #nationalunemployment rate of 3.5% is great, but inflation is still increasing. The #FED will increase interest rates which will increase the unemployment rate and that chain reaction will slow and hopefully stop inflation. It is sad that the only option is to force layoffs to save the countries economy. I am happy I don't have to make that difficult decision.


Florida Unemployment Rate

2021 2022

February 5.6% 3.3%

March 5.4% 3.2%

April 5.1% 3.0%

May 4.9% 3.0%

June 4.8% 2.8%

July 4.5% 2.7%

August 4.3% 2.7%

September 3.9% 2.7%

October 3.7%

November 3.5%

December 3.5%


Adams Insight: Governor Ron #Desantis has managed to beat the National unemployment average month after month. The great state of #Florida has a few key industries; tourism, space technologies and farming.
