March 25, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - Last week the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity released the January 2014 job growth numbers and, in an unusual move, revised the data all the way back to 1990.

The revisions show employment growth was significantly underestimated in some parts of Florida, and overestimated in others.

The numbers now say Orlando had the highest job growth of all Florida’s metropolitan areas.

90.7’s economic analyst Hank Fishkind says the newly-revised data has economic and political implications across Florida.
