As a trade delegation from Jacksonville makes its annual economic development trip to London, JAXUSA Partnership is launching a video focusing on the region’s strengths in financial services and fintech.
The video, “JAX Marks the Spot for Financial Services,” can be seen on YouTube here. The video spotlights several of Jacksonville’s leading finance companies, such as Fidelity National Information Services, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America and Citibank along with statistics.
According to JAXUSA, here are the statistics shown in the video and their sources:
"#1 job market on the east coast," The Wall Street Journal in the April 8 story, "Utah’s Tech Hub Powers America’s Hottest Job Market, WSJ Ranking Finds"
"71,500+ finance graduates ready to enter the workforce," JobsEQ, 2023
"55,000+ employed in financial services," – JobsEQ, 2024
JobsEQ by Chmura says it aggregates data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, O*NET, National Center for Education Statistics, and more.
Another segment focuses on Jacksonville’s quality of life, with scenes of surfers, families kayaking and hiking on nature trails, and bicyclists pedaling on the Riverwalk.
The Jaguars began their two-game trip to London with a 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Oct. 13 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The team, which fell to 1-5 on the season, will play the New England Patriots on Oct. 20 at Wembley Stadium.
This is the 11th year JAXUSA Partnership has led the business recruitment trip to London. The partnership is the economic development division of JAX Chamber.
Among other marketing efforts related to the excursion, the city will be featured in advertising during the Oct. 20 game and on digital advertising through LinkedIn focusing on financial services.
