The Jobs for the Unemployed Tax Credit Program provides incentives to businesses throughout Florida to hire qualified employees who were previously unemployed. The program is available to all businesses that are identified as a “target industry”. The business may receive a tax credit of $1,000 for every employee hired as of July 1, 2010. The business may claim only new hires that were previously unemployed for a minimum of 30 days, and that remain employed after a 12-month period at an average of 36 hours per week. This program will run until June 30, 2012 with a limit of $10 million available for tax credits.
For additional information on the JUTC program, other available incentives and/or assistance in indentifying sites, contact Gregory J. Weiner, Senior Director, Business Development at 1.800.535.0203 or by email at gweiner@SpaceCoastEDC.org.

JUTC Target Industries:
Only businesses able to locate in other states and serving multi-state and/or international markets are targeted. Retail activities, utilities, mining and other extraction or processing businesses, and activities regulated by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation are statutorily excluded from consideration. All projects are evaluated on an individual basis and therefore operating in a target industry does not automatically indicate eligibility.
