TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Rick Scott is getting a bit more good news on Florida's unemployment front.

The Department of Economic Opportunity said Friday that unemployment in Florida dipped to 9.4 percent in February - its lowest number in three years. The report also noted that 10,100 new jobs were created.

Florida has added roughly 64,300 jobs during Scott's first 14 months in office. Scott campaigned on creating 700,000 new jobs in seven years and has made the issue his top priority since taking office.

The improving job numbers also appear to have a favorable effect on President Obama's popularity. A recent Quinnipiac shows Obama well ahead of his GOP challengers.
