Florida's jobless rate rose to 5.5 percent in May, the highest since January 2003, according to a state report released Friday.
The rate, which is adjusted for seasonal fluctuations, means more than a half million workers statewide are out of work. Palm Beach and Broward counties' unemployment numbers also rose last month, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.
