Although the industry has often been thriving, the current state of the economy is turning many workers to the fields looking for farming jobs in Florida.
Particularly for Marion County, where horse farms constitute 15 percent of the labor force, jobs are skim and workers are plentiful. Amid hard economic times, a number of job seekers have turned up looking for work. Many of these workers are people who were recently laid off from the construction industry, according to an article by Ocala.com.

Cost cutting is becoming necessary for many owners, and some owners are cutting jobs. This leaves job seekers with little or no field experience with few options for making ends meet in this industry.
