October 2010 Unemployment:

Palm Coast 15.5% 5,059 Unemployed
Orlando 11.2% 126,104 Unemployed
Miami 11.8% 340,862 Unemployed

Insignificant number of unemployed in Palm Coast to be labeled the poster child of what went wrong in Fla housing market. I thought I read that Port St Lucie was slammed the hardest by the housing bust - nearly 11,000 homes went into foreclosure, county government considered declaring itself a disaster area.
