Atlanta Fed Analysis of Jacksonville Job Market Reveals Regional Conditions

Abstract: Fulfilling the Federal Reserve System's dual mandate of price stability and full employment requires a thorough understanding of the economy, both in the national and local context. At the Atlanta Fed, we closely monitor the labor market through both our Community and Economic Development (CED) team that focuses on research and engagement that aims to improve economic opportunity for low- and moderate-income individuals (LMI) and our Regional Economic Information Network (REIN) team that gathers economic intelligence from business leaders.1 Recently, we leveraged the complementary capabilities of CED and REIN to engage local businesses, workforce development professionals, social services system administrators, and individual workers and job seekers for a 360-degree labor market analysis in one of the most dynamic economies in the Southeast—Jacksonville, Florida.
