"Atypical wage gap stubbornly persisted ..." is the Groundhog Day of economic news in America's least affordable state, where power hates paying people to work more than it pretends to hate "woke."
Who moves to Florida? An outsized percentage of retirees. How much to do retirees spend? Next to nothing. Where is Florida? The middle of the US. No, it's down in the lower Southeast. Where transportation costs are high. Florida has always had a problem with low wages. When you have an unlimited supply of labor from folks moving into the state, while the working population is is tied up serving retirees. Trying to lure industry? Our Post-secondary education is pretty good and Improving. Our Primary and secondary continues to lag. Anywhere below Tallahassee has a built in disadvantage for freight competitiveness.
