Office-Using Employment Update MAR 2021 | Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL

There is a lot shifting in the office landscape. Which sectors are getting back on their feet? Is it time to target a new sector for new tenants?

Similar to last month, two major office-using sectors gained jobs over the year in March 2021. The Professional & Business Services sector saw an increase of 7,700 jobs, and the Financial Activities sector saw an increase of 12,000 jobs YOY.

While the Information Sector experienced a -2.4% YOY decrease, it has seen a steady and slow recovery, with MOM gains recorded most months since April 2020.

The Tampa unemployment rate and the Florida unemployment rate both were both recorded at 4.7% for MAR 2021.
