This comes right off the heels of the 130 new jobs in Tampa the company announced last October.

Progressive is seeking a number of phone representatives to work at their Riverview contact center.   According to Progressive, "Phone representatives will sell policies, answer customer questions or help customers file accident claims. The positions require work experience in a customer service environment."

While this is good, Florida's unemployment rate is still one of the worst in the country at just under 10%.  Companies in Tampa hiring for new jobs like these certainly indicate a degree of progress, though.
