Florida Losing Jobs Fast
Just returned from seeing my attorney, am back in the saddle now. Jeff Kunerth, Sentinel Staff Writer for the newspaper entitled the ‘Sun Sentinel’, said in His Nov. 16, 2009 story that as Florida faces hard fiscal choices and a reduced population, jobs are dissapearing, sadly enouph. I know we have some similiar issues here on Oahu. For example, used cars transactions are down here on Oahu, unfortunately. All in all, The article quotes William Frey, a demographer with The Brookings Institution in Washington, as saying, “What this will do is make a lot of people think about what rapid growth means, both the downside and the upside.” For it’s part, the state has had to deal with lower revenue due to s smaller tax base. I also think more people are buying used cars as opposed to new cars, at least that is how it is on Oahu.
Sean Snaith is an economist at the University of Central Florida and is the school’s director for the Institute of Economic Competitiveness. Snaith believes that the recession made a declining trend worse, and the state should expect the trend to continue. Snaith said, “These gaudy rates of population growth we’ve seen of 4 or 5 percent in decades gone by are not coming back.” Should you need a competent Florida Tax attorney then let me suggest David Garvin. He is really one of the best tax and legal professionals in all of Florida and he is a criminal attorney as well for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, etc.
Jeff Kunerth also quotes Carl Haub. Haub is a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau in Washington, “The United States is growing by 3 million a year, and they are not going to North Dakota.” Switching gears for a second, if you find yourself needing a top quality Oahu used cars dealership then you may want to consider this Infinity one, they are possibly one of the more respected such used car dealerships on Oahu as a whole.
Demographers for the University of Florida believe that once the recessions fades, the state may see as many as 200,000 per year, down from the 300,000 it has enjoyed, but still enviable. If Florida grows by 2% per year, only, that will be double the national average. Airports and seaports can be a major center for international shipping and business. The state could also become a “green technology” leader.
The state must concentrate of diversifying its economy. In this spirit, Orlando is partnering with Burnham Institute and UCF to develop a center for biotech at the “Medical City” complex. generally speaking, the state has had to rethink the educational system, taxes, and a host of other crucial issues overall.
