Dear ,
We hope the New Year started well for you! We are encouraged by signs that the economy is moving in the right direction. I have always been an optimist, so it's my belief that the market will continue to improve and we will be able to help more of our customers re-enter the workforce in 2012.
"The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly." John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), 35th president of the U.S.

Minimum Wage Increased January 1 |

Effective January 1, 2012, Florida's minimum wage rose by 36 cents, or about 5 percent, to $7.67 per hour for workers earning minimum wage. This increase will add approximately $14.40 to the paychecks of workers who put in 40 hours per week. For tipped employees, businesses will now be required to pay $4.65 an hour. The minimum wage rate increase is based upon a Florida cost of living formula. |
