Tampa led the state in new hires last month as Florida’s job market brightened, with the state’s unemployment rate dipping to its lowest point in four years.

10,000 jobs were added locally last month, sinking Tampa jobless rate from 8 percent to 7.4 percent in one month, state data released Friday show. With 33,000 jobs added since February 2012, Tampa’s year-over-year job growth bested every metro area in the state.
