					<description><![CDATA[The City of Miami Beach lost the first round of a battle to raise the minimum living wage to $13.31 an hour. Nevertheless, Mayor Philip Levine vows he will fight back, possibly with a constitutional amendment to get the law through. After Levine signed the law last June to gradually raise Miami Beach&#8217;s minimum wage from the state&#8217;s $8.10 to $13.31 by 2021, a number of business groups filed suit.

					<description><![CDATA[In 2011, the Florida Legislature began to impose sweeping new restrictions and procedural hurdles for Floridians applying for unemployment insurance. However, problems with the $60 million 2013 unveiling of the state unemployment website CONNECT forced applicants to wait months for their benefits. According to a new report, those restrictions have made it so onerous for the jobless in Florida that fewer than one in eight unemployed workers receive unemployment benefits, the lowest recipiency rate in the country.
