1,2,3, and 6 are publicly funded.  Kind of interesting considering the prevalent anti-government attitudes in the area.

Chase continues to have several rounds of layoffs so I wonder if this time next year if they'll be at the bottom if the list or delisted?

Yes.

I know alot of people that went to Chase in 2011-2012. A large number of them have been reassigned within the bank or let go.

I believe the names are "Naval Station Mayport" (not Naval Air Station) and Naval Air Station Jacksonville.

While Chase has had some reduction if force locally in Mortgage Banking, many have been redeployed - all the while increasing their branch expansion in North Florida.

The scary part of htis list is that none of these employers "create" anything.  These are all services.

Why isn't Bi-lo Holdings on this list? If you combine Their building on Cassat and Edgewood, the building in Deerwood Park, the distribution center and all of the Winn-Dixie retail locations it should be near the top of this list.

Bi-lo, Publix, Walmart, etc. probably all have more than many of the places on the list, if you start adding up their retail locations.

He is quite the charmer and calling people names negates the requirements to discuss issues.   However most folks would be surprised about the few number of people required to make things.  Been in the manufacturing business for years and the shop floor has shrunk enormously over the past 30 years.  expect it to get smaller before I pass from this world.

It funny how the teabaggers, who were the first to call themselves that, suddenly decide it's "namecalling".

But "teabagger" was actually a nickname promoted by the tea party in the fall of 2010 when they sold "Proud To Be A Teabagger" badges at tea party events.

But in typical conservative fashion, never let the facts get in the way of what you believe.

And the military is downsizing as well.  Not encouraging when some of the biggest employers in town are reducing the size of their workforces.

Always in peace time, of course, in times of war, well we need the military and up we go, into the wild blue yonder....
