Seventy-six percent of Pinellas County schools received an
“A” or “B” grade by the State of Florida grading system.
Exceptional Centers offer specialty areas by which students
can earn industry certification in addition to a high school
diploma. This speeds the transition from high school to
workforce and/or post-secondary education. Recognizing
there is a need for skilled workers, the Pinellas County School
District has partnered with local colleges and technical
centers to provide an array of certification programs now
offered to students.

Clearwater serves as an employment center within the Tampa Bay metro area, generating more
daily inbound traffic than outbound traffic. Most commuters to Clearwater are Pinellas County
residents. The city is committed to making Clearwater a safe and convenient place to live, work
and play by consistently investing in our infrastructure. Walking, riding or driving, from bay to
beach, is easy and enjoyable in Clearwater. Take the Jolley Trolley along the beach or head over
to downtown on the Clearwater Ferry for a truly unique ride.

Businesses succeed in Clearwater. The state’s favorable business tax structure, government
policies and no state personal income tax make planning for growth in Clearwater easy. Florida
consistently ranks among the best states for business thanks to its pro-business tax policies,
competitive cost of doing business and streamlined regulatory environment. Land, labor and
capital are more affordable than in other states, making business dollars go further in Florida.
As a regional employment center providing nearly 13,000 more jobs than its resident labor
force, Clearwater provides opportunities across a broad spectrum of industries.
