Dean’s Message As I write this message, my beloved Detroit Tigers are playing in the World Series. It has been six long years since they last played for the championship. I was in the stands when they lost that one. About University of Central Florida (UCF)

Making it to the World Series is tough. Winning it is even tougher. There are 30 teams that compete for the title each year, but only one can emerge as champs. The Tigers have not won the World Series since they beat the San Diego Padres at Tiger Stadium on October 14, 1984! That was 28 years ago and I was still in graduate school. This year’s Tigers have succeeded because they worked hard, were patient and persevered. High expectations led to a lot of early disappointment, but they were able to pick themselves up after a defeat. Most importantly, they believed in themselves and never quit. I see a parallel between my team and my new state. Florida was hit hard by the recession, harder than most of the other 49 states. While I have only been here a short time, I am quite impressed by the resiliency of the residents. Even with a high unemployment rate and struggling housing market, Floridians never gave up.

About the College of Business Administration

According to this latest forecast, that resiliency is finally paying off. Dr. Sean Snaith predicts that “Florida’s economic recovery will finally build some steam in 2013.” That is great news and is a real tribute to the citizens of our state. Individual accomplishments are terrific, but when people work together as a team, whether it’s in sports or as a community, it is much easier to reach your goals. Go Tigers,

(No, really.) • Payroll job growth year-over-year is expected to average just 0.9% in 2012, 1.8% in 2013, 2.0% in 2014, and 2.5% in 2015. It will be third quarter 2016 before payrolls recover to their pre-recession levels. • The size of the labor force is still the lynchpin to predicting the future path for the unemployment rate in Florida. The timing and extent to which discouraged workers reenter the labor force will be a key determinant of the path of the unemployment rate. • Unemployment rates have declined in large part due to labor force contraction and they will continue to decline through 2015. The pace of decline will be moderate and it will be 2014 Q4 before we see unemployment fall below 8%. • Underemployment (U-6) in Florida, a broader measure of labor market slack than official unemployment (U-3), came in at 17.0% for third quarter 2011 through second quarter 2012. • The sectors expected to have the strongest average growth during 2012-2015 are Construction (5.0%); Professional and Business Services (4.6%); Trade, Transportation & Utilities (3.2%); Education & Health Services (2.0%); and Information (1.6%). • Housing starts will continue to creep higher in 2012 and begin to accelerate in 2013. Total starts will be just under 120,000 in 2014 and just over 157,000 in 2015, the highest level since 2006. • Real Gross State Product (RGSP) will expand just 1.7% in 2012, and then accelerate to 2.1% in 2013, 2.4% in 2013, 3.0% in 2014, and 3.9% in 2015. • Real personal income growth for 2012 slowed to 1.3%. From 2013-2015, real personal income growth will average 3.7%, and will slowly accelerate to 4.0% in 2015. • Florida’s population growth will continue to pick up in 2012 and beyond. By 2015, the growth rate should hit 1.7%, the fastest rate since 2006. As the economy strengthens, job creation and Baby Boomers’ retirements will both boost net migration. • Retail sales will grow at an average pace of 4.1% during 2012-2015, after growing in 2011 at the fastest rate since 2005.

F l o r id a Summ a r y

Flor ida’s H ou si n g M a r ke t Data recently released by Florida Realtors shows signs of a housing market that continues to find firmer footing amid growing signs of a nascent housing recovery in Florida. Median sales prices for single-family homes increased $8,000 in August yearover-year and stand at $147,000. For the beleaguered townhome/condominium market, the median sales price increased nearly $12,000 year-over-year and came in at $102,980 in August. Figure 1, below, depicts the monthly realtor sales of existing single family homes, as well as the 12 month moving average of these sales. The trend for sales has been a strong upward path from the nadir of sales in late 2007 and early 2008. The path has wavered at times and the 12-month moving average has had a few dips since that low point, but the overall trend is strongly upward. Figure 2, below, displays median sales prices for single family existing homes. While it does not show the same strong upward trend that sales have followed, there are some signs of improvement in prices as well. It appears that prices have hit a wellestablished bottom and have bounced along that bottom for the better part of two years. In recent months the 12-month moving average of median sales prices has curled upwards. Will this upward curl represent another bump along this bottom or the start

of a recovery in home prices? Time will ultimately tell and equity starved homeowners across the state can only hope this is the case. We have previously described Florida’s housing and labor markets as the Siamese twins of the state’s economy. We are seeing signs of improvement in both of the “twins,” but neither of them is completely healthy just yet. As we progress into 2013 we expect an upgrade in the conditions of both markets. The housing and labor markets were in grave condition at the low point of the housing and financial crises. As a result the markets faced a long climb out of a deep hole. Upward progress is finally becoming evident, though the pace of this progress has been far too slow for many Floridians who lay strewn at the bottom of this abyss.

Out look f or Flo r ida 201 2- 201 5 Florida’s Economic Recovery, Entangled in the Nation’s Economic Ennui, Stands Poised to Break Away

The year 2012 is turning out to be a year that the recovery forgot. Nationally, the economy has greatly decelerated as economic growth has slowed to a crawl and uncertainty about economic policy, politics, and the global economy has continued to grow. Florida has also continued to grow amidst this torpor,

although the promise of a more robust recovery has remained just beyond our grasp.

eating away at budgets and drawing down consumer spending in areas other than energy purchases.

Florida’s economic recovery began in 2010, and the first year of real Gross State Product growth was just 0.9%. Unfortunately, in 2011, growth did not increase in the state. We expect that the economy expanded by just 0.5% last year.

The year 2011 was anticipated to be a stronger follow up to the weak economic growth Florida experienced in 2010, the first year of our state’s economic recovery. Instead of a year of gaining momentum, 2011 turned out to be a step backwards as already subpar growth slowed.

The pace of the U.S. economic recovery in 2012 has plummeted from a very healthy, albeit shortlived, 4.1% rate of growth in the 4th quarter of 2011. Growth in the 2nd quarter was just 1.3%, and in the second half of the year it looks like growth will remain below 2.0%. The Presidential election offers two distinct paths forward for the U.S. economy, and the fate of two large, complex, and economically harmful pieces of legislation in the areas of healthcare and financial regulation hang in the balance. The “fiscal cliff” also looms large at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. The fate of the Bush tax cuts and the payroll tax cut, along with across the board spending cuts currently slated to begin at the start of 2013, remain up in the air as the nation’s capital is focused on the election. While it is highly unlikely that we will plunge over the cliff and send the economy back into recession, how this problem will be addressed is still unclear. The enduring problems with consumer’s balance sheets and the housing market’s ongoing struggle to return to normalcy will continue to weigh on real GDP growth. The lasting impact of lost wealth will also play a role in keeping economic growth to just 1.7% on average in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2012. In Florida, the wealth effects of depleted, and in many cases negative home equity have been substantial and will continue to weigh on the shoulders of Floridians for years to come. Consumer spending should continue to show some boost from pent-up demand in 2012, although the persistently high prices of oil and gasoline are an ongoing barrier to consumer spending. How long prices remain elevated will determine the magnitude of the effect of energy prices on consumer spending. High gasoline prices act like a tax on consumers,

Florida’s economic future remains bright despite the fact that this bright future has for the past couple of years seemed more like the mirage of an oasis just on the horizon of a vast economic desert. This oasis of economic growth has been tantalizing in its prospect, but persistently beyond our grasp. Just when it seems we will drink a stronger pace of economic growth, some event, some setback, some echo from the financial and housing crises seems to move the oasis further into the future yet again. There is definitely a brighter day ahead for the Sunshine State. Really, there is. Floridian’s patience and pocketbooks have worn thin awaiting the dawn of that day, but as sure as the hatches of love bugs in our state, that day is coming. Hopefully that day will stick around as long as the love bugs do on the grills of our cars. The year 2012 is shaping up to be another year of subpar growth, but it is still better than 2011. Economic growth for 2012 will be 1.7% and payrolls will expand by just 0.9%. Florida’s economic growth will accelerate into 2013 and 2014, allowing the labor market to build momentum in its recovery, and even the plagued construction sector will begin to see job growth by 2013. The only sector expected to consistently lose jobs through 2015 is the federal government. Fiscal austerity is the only cure (economic growth can go a long way to help as well) as the massive budget deficits and national debt will force difficult, but necessary, cuts to federal government spending and thus employment. The labor market’s recovery will help continue to boost retail sales, and more discretionary spending in general will help to ease budget crunches in Tallahassee and provide revenue necessary for Institute for Economic Competitiveness

F l o r id a Summ a r y

strategic investments in Florida’s economy. As we have discussed in previous Florida forecasts, the housing market’s recovery will be bolstered by that of the labor market. Florida’s economy is poised to break away from the economic ennui of the U.S. economic recovery, and in 2013 the evidence will continue to mount, indicating that we are doing just that. When it finally does, I don’t think any of us will take that economic growth for granted.

G ross Stat e P r oduct Real Gross State Product (GSP) in Florida, the state-level analogue to Real GDP, shifted from contraction to expansion in 2010 as the recession finally loosened its grip on the state. Growth was modest that year and became even more so in 2011, with full year growth expected at just 0.5%. To put that growth in perspective, in 2003-2005 Real GSP grew at an average rate of 5.3% with 2005 being the peak year for growth as the economy then grew at an emerging economy pace of 6.1%. In 2013, confidence and a burgeoning labor market recovery will both be back in place allowing for stronger growth of 2.1% and finally back to some Florida-like growth in 2014 and 2015 when Real GSP is expected to grow 3.0% and 3.9% respectively. The burden of lost wealth Florida’s consumers have to overcome in most cases is substantially higher than consumers in other states around the nation, and housing prices have shown signs of at least stabilizing, if not showing some, albeit slight, upward movement. The destruction of home equity wealth blew a large crater on the balance sheet of Florida’s households. Realistically it will take many years, if not a decade or more, to get that wealth back. Thus, the scars of this recession and housing bubble will be with us for a long time to come. However, as 2012 gives way to 2013 and beyond, the economy will begin to grow more rapidly, labor markets will improve, and housing prices will benefit from these improving fundamentals. Economic and population growth provides a solid foundation 8

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2012

upon which a healthy housing sector can grow. Improving housing prices will in turn feed back into the economy and help the labor market continue to improve a virtuous cycle that will finally supplant the cruel interaction of the past five years. Nominal Gross State Product is expected to reach nearly $902 billion in 2015. The state will cross the trillion dollar threshold for GSP five years from now, in 2017. Demographics, specifically improved domestic and international migration, will continue to fuel the state’s growth. International trade, tourism, healthcare, and ongoing efforts to diversify the state’s economic base will help broaden sources of economic growth in the future and continue to push the economy forward in the years and decades to come.

P e rs o nal In co me, Retail Sale s , and Auto Sales Personal income growth quarter-over-quarter continued to decelerate in the first half of 2012 in Florida after doing so in the second half of 2011. Growth is expected to accelerate in the second half of 2012 through the end of 2015. Year-over-year growth lost a bit of momentum in 2012, but after personal income growth builds in 2013 with growth of 4.7%, picks up more steam in 2014 when it is expected to grow 5.3%, and then accelerates further in 2015 to 5.6%. Personal income growth will lag that of the nation as a whole through 2012. But in 2013 the positions reverse, and Florida outpaces the nation with personal income growth that is an average of 0.6% higher than the nation through 2015. The year 2013 will be the first year since 2006 that personal income growth in Florida will be higher than the national rate. Personal income will reach nearly $903 billion in 2015 - a year that will see personal income grow by $48.1 billion. Real disposable income growth, weighed down by the recession and its aftermath, increased by just 1.3% in 2010, but this was the first growth since 2006. Growth did not maintain this pace. In 2011 and 2012 disposable income growth will average 0.9%. Average growth during 2013-2015 will be 3.4%. Increasing tax burdens at the federal level will be a

F l o r id a Summ a r y

drag on disposable income over the forecast horizon and beyond. Addressing the nation’s deficit and debt problems cannot be achieved through spending cuts alone. Financial markets have made a strong recovery from the nadir of the financial crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell to the 6,600 level in the first week of March in 2009, but has since climbed back up to the 13,000 level. The bond market has also performed strongly, and as a result, overall financial asset values held by U.S. households have exceeded their pre-crisis highs. The housing market in Florida has made no such comeback and housing prices may have touched their bottom. Lost home equity could take decades to recover. In Florida, this negative wealth effect will continue to weigh upon consumer spending for many years to come. Florida’s persistently high unemployment and underemployment will continue to weigh on consumer spending in Florida. As the labor market shifts into a mode with private sector job creation accelerating, it will boost consumer confidence and spending. The improved sentiment will help to unlock more of the pent-up consumer spending that stemmed from employment insecurity. High oil and gasoline prices have continued to burden Florida’s consumers and the economy will feel this pain at the pump. The level that prices maintain and how long they remain there will determine the extent of the impact on consumer spending. If high prices are going to be persistent, the drag on economic and job growth will be greater. If the showdown with Iran over its nuclear program leads to military action in the Persian Gulf, the resultant spike in energy prices could very well undermine the economic recovery in Florida and the nation. Retail sales in Florida will grow at 4.7% in 2012, part of which will be due to higher gasoline expenditures because of rising prices, but also as a result of the venting of pent-up demand by Florida’s consumers and visitors. Once the labor market recovery has fully ramped up, retail spending will begin to recover across a broad array of sectors in the

economy. The average growth rate of retail sales will be nearly 4.0% during 2014-2015. Although retail sales growth will not reach the levels experienced during the height of the housing and economic boom, the ongoing improvement should help bolster sales tax revenues and alleviate budget constraints in Tallahassee. As the economy has recovered, consumers’ pent-up demand and replacement need for automobiles and light trucks continues to be released. Replacement need and a sense of stability in the economy have driven this demand. The year 2010 was the start of a multi-year rise in the number of new passenger car and truck registrations in Florida. Growth will be robust during 2012-2015, averaging nearly 10.9%. In 2015, registrations will reach 1.35 million, representing an increase of over 650,000 registrations from the 2009 nadir, but still not higher than the level of registrations during the height of the housing boom (1.45 million in 2005). That number of registrations will be surpassed in 2016.

Emp loy m en t Overall, average payroll employment fell for three consecutive years beginning in 2008 through 2010. From peak month to trough month Florida shed nearly 925,000 payroll jobs. Payroll job growth took root in 2011. Job growth was tepid, but consistent over the year. Full year job growth for 2011 averaged 1.1%. In 2012, job growth has wavered, but is expected to come in at a positive 0.9%. The year 2013 will mark the first time since 2006 that job growth in Florida exceeds the national rate of job growth. Payroll job growth will reach 2.5% in 2015 as it gradually accelerates to that point. The long-suffering Construction sector still has another year of job losses before it finally joins in the labor market’s recovery. The sector has been losing jobs in a dramatic manner after peaking during the housing boom; it will be six straight years of job losses; 2013 will mark the turnaround in the Construction sector as recovery gets underway. Job growth will return to the Construction sector Institute for Economic Competitiveness

F l o r id a Summ a r y

in the 2nd quarter of 2013; construction will be the caboose as far as the private sector jobs train is concerned. Job growth rates are expected to surge from -5.9% in 2012 to 1.1% in 2013, 10.2% in 2014, and 14.8% in 2015. The 2015 growth rate appears large, but it is calculated from a dramatically lower base of employment in the sector. By the end of 2015, employment in this sector should be back at levels previously surpassed in 1995, 20 years earlier. The Professional and Business Services sector will be the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd fastest growing sector through 2015, behind Construction, whose growth rates are from a depleted base. Job growth in the Professional and Business Services sector is expected to be healthy, averaging 4.6% during 2012-2015. Job gains here will be modest initially, but are expected to accelerate. The full year of 2012 will turn in job growth at 3.1%. Growth will accelerate and reach 4.4% in 2013 and 4.5% in 2014. The year 2015 will see growth hit 6.0% in this white collar sector. This sector will recover quickly and will get back to pre-recession peak levels of employment before the end of the 2nd quarter of 2014. The Information sector shed jobs in 2011 and will continue to do so until the third quarter of 2012. Structural changes in the industry haunt this sector as technology has evolved and news comes in the form of tweets and blog posts rather than in newsprint. The limits of cutbacks at newspapers and magazines may have been reached as somebody has to write the news stories that are increasingly read on tablet computers and smart phones. Other sources of growth within this sector, such as software, will eventually help compensate. Job growth should return to the Information sector year-over-year in 2012, and this will be just the second year of job growth in this sector in eleven prior years, including six straight years of net job losses leading up to 2012. Job growth will jump to 1.9% in 2013 and will average just 2.0% in 2013-2015. The one sector that has consistently generated jobs throughout the recession and is expected to continue to expand through the end of 2015 is the Health and Education sector. During 2012-2015, employment in this sector is expected to expand at an average 10

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2012

rate of 2.0%. School budgets will likely constrain employment levels in the education side of the sector as schools face significant revenue constraints due to the housing sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing malaise and its impact on property tax based revenue that funds school districts. It is still uncertain as to precisely how national politics and the legal system will ultimately affect healthcare in Florida. Federal and state budget battles will continue to put Medicare and Medicaid expenditures in the spotlight. The focus will necessarily be on gaining efficiency and controlling the cost of delivering these services. However, with some momentum toward expanding coverage and the age structure of our population, it appears that demand for health services will remain strong in the near to intermediate term. This demand will continue to drive job growth in this sector. Manufacturing employment expanded weakly in Florida through 2011. Global competition and efficiency gains in manufacturing have reduced employment in this sector for the better part of a decade. The sector is emerging from this period of contraction as productive as it has been in many years. This improved competitiveness, despite a weakening of expansions in emerging economies and a European recession, will help drive job growth as exports should nonetheless continue to rise, albeit at a diminished pace. We are expecting to see job growth of 1.1% in this sector for the full year in 2012, followed by a slightly stronger year of job growth in 2013, when manufacturing employment will expand at a rate of 1.4%. Manufacturing is expected to continue to gain jobs in 2014 and 2015, when job growth is expected to average 1.6%. The budget impaired Government sector has been set upon by revenue crunches that run from the state level down to counties and small cities. Job losses will persist in the State and Local Government sector through 2013 when growth will be -0.1%. From that point, growth will turn weakly positive and average 0.5% during 2014-2015. No such reversal of fortune is in the cards for

F l o r id a Summ a r y

Federal Government employment growth. Job losses are expected through the end of 2015 and beyond as the U.S. begins to come to grips with massive budget deficits and a ballooning national debt. Federal Government employment in Florida will contract at an average rate of 2.2% during 2012-2015.

U ne mp loy m e n t Unemployment rates in Florida remain elevated, but like the national rate they have come down substantially from their peaks. Part of the problem is that these declines have been largely driven by the shrinking of the labor force, and thus are somewhat misleading when taken out of this context in trying to assess the health of the labor market in Florida. Real Gross State Product has been growing continuously since the 1st quarter of 2010, but only at an average growth rate of 1.0% through 2012. Robust growth is needed to bring down the unemployment rate quickly, and labor force shrinkage notwithstanding, we have not seen the type of growth that can do more than lower the unemployment rate gradually. As of September, the unemployment rate in Florida stood at 8.7% for a 1.7% decline over the span of less than three years.

reducing the unemployment rate a more challenging and protracted process. When discouraged workers re-enter the job hunt there will be upward pressure on the unemployment rate. Although it seems counterintuitive, if the unemployment rate is rising because of this reentry it will actually be a good sign and an indication that the labor market is healing. The unemployment rate is expected to continue a slow, drawn-out decline that will push it down to 7.4% by the end of 2015. This problem of underemployment and marginally attached workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those who are neither working nor looking for work, but indicate that they want and are available for a job, and have looked for work sometime in the past twelve months and those who have given up searching for a job entirely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is substantial. When adding these workers to the top-level unemployment figure, this broader measure of unemployment, known as U-6, paints an even grimmer picture of labor markets, and is currently at 17.0% for the third quarter of 2011 through second quarter of 2012 in Florida, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This paints a much grimmer picture of the state of the labor market in Florida than does the headline unemployment rate of 8.7%.

The tepid growth Florida has experienced thus far in the recovery will only chip away at the unemployment rate; robust growth is necessary to ratchet the unemployment rate down. This type of growth Florida will not see for at least another year and a half. The labor market cycle generally lags the business cycle overall, but the weak and erratic nature of this recovery and the uncertainty that seems to permeate the economy from the healthcare reform, to the fiscal cliff, to the European debt crisis, has lengthened this jobless recovery well beyond what could be considered a normal lag. As payroll job growth finally gains momentum, it will trigger the reentry of discouraged workers who had abandoned the job search during this long labor market cycle. This source of growth in the labor force, which has not yet fully manifested itself, will make Institute for Economic Competitiveness

Out l o o k Summ a r i e s

The Deltona–Daytona–Ormond Beach MSA is comprised only of Volusia County. It is located on the east coast of Florida and is notable for special events that occur throughout the year such as Bike Week. It is home to NASCAR headquarters and the Daytona International Speedway which hosts popular races such as the Daytona 500.

The Deltona–Daytona–Ormond Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is expected to show low levels of growth in most of the economic indicators measured in this forecast. Personal income is expected to average 4.5 percent growth, while the per capita income level will be 31.1. Average annual wage will be the second lowest level of the studied areas at 40.0. Average annual wage growth is expected to be 2.5 percent. Population growth will be third lowest among the studied metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) at 0.7 percent. Gross Metro Product will be at a level of 12,477.95 (Mill).

Quick Facts: • Population estimate of 494,593 as of July 1, 2011 (U.S. Census Bureau). • A civilian labor force of 246,763 in April of 2012 (Florida Regional Economic Database). • An unemployment rate of 8.6% not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 21,312 unemployed people (Florida Regional Economic Database). Top Area Employers: • Volusia County Schools – 8,080 • Florida Hospital (All Divisions) – 4,248 • Halifax Medical Center – 3,957 • Volusia County Government – 3,280 • Publix – 2,486 • State of Florida – 2,361 • Daytona State College – 1,797 • U.S. Government – 1,422 • Embry Riddle Aeronautical University – 1,176 Source: Volusia County Department of Economic Development and Enterprise Florida

The employment growth rate is expected to average 1.2 percent each year. Unemployment will average 8.6 percent.

The Deltona MSA will experience the most growth in the Construction and Mining sector, with an average growth rate of 5.4 percent annually. The Professional and Business Services sector will see the second highest growth in the Deltona MSA at 2.4 percent annually. The Information sector follows with an annual growth rate of 1.3 percent. The Leisure and Federal Government sectors are the only sectors expected to experience a decline at -0.2 percent and -3.8 percent, respectively.

M e t r o N e w s Summ a r i e s Local jobless rates drop, but so do number of workers, jobs • Flagler County’s jobless rate dipped slightly to 12.4 percent in August – the first time in three months that it was lower than the previous month – as fewer area residents sought work. • In July, Flagler County had the second worst unemployment rate among the state’s 67 counties. However it is significantly lower than the 14.7 percent rate in August of last year. • While the lower local jobless rate is good news, it is tempered by the fact that the declines were primarily caused by a drop in the labor force with fewer job seekers and not job creation.

P r o fi l e s

Out l o o k Summ a r i e s

The Lakeland MSA is comprised only of Polk County. It is located in the western-center of the state and is heavily agriculturally based, especially in citrus. It is home to a few attractions such as Fantasy of Flight and Legoland Florida. Also, the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians conduct spring training in Lakeland and Winter Haven, respectively.

The Lakeland Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is expected to show low-to-moderate levels of growth in most of the economic indicators. Personal income is expected to grow moderately at 4.6 percent annually, while the per capita income level will be at 29.9, the lowest of the twelve MSAs. Average annual wage growth is expected to be 2.3 percent, and the average annual wage level is expected to be at 42.4, the third lowest of the studied areas. Population growth is expected to average 1.3 percent annually. Gross Metro Product will be at a level of 16,313.87 (Mill).

Quick Facts:

• Population estimate of 609,492 as of July 1, 2011 (U.S. Census Bureau).

• A civilian labor force of 270,500 in April of 2012 (Florida Regional Economic Database).

• An unemployment rate of 9.1% not seasonally adjusted in April of 2012. This amounts to 24,616 unemployed people (Florida Regional Economic Database).

Employment growth is expected to be 1.6 percent annually. The unemployment rate for the metro will average 9.1 percent, the second highest of the twelve forecasted MSAs.

• Lakeland Regional Medical Center – 4,540

The Construction and Mining sector is expected to be the fastest growing sector in the area, averaging 4.8 percent average annual growth. This is followed by the Professional and Business Services sector averaging a growth rate of 3.9 percent a year. The State and Local Government and Federal Government sectors will experience a decline, with an annual growth rate of -0.2 and -3.7 percent respectively.

Sykes Enterprises reduces number of jobs it expects to bring to Lakeland

• Sykes Enterprises has lowered the number of higher-paying positions at its new 92,000-square-foot Lakeland call center from 127 to 40. • The new jobs will pay an average wage of $35,243, 115% of the city’s average annual wage, qualifying Sykes for tax incentives.

• Due to the adjusted number of jobs, city commissioners will vote to reduce the incentives from $76,000 over six years to $24,000 over six years. The company still plans to bring 600 jobs to the call center that will begin operations later this year. Source: The Lakeland Ledger, July 12, 2012

Legoland expanding with rides, shops, more

• Winter Haven based Legoland filed documents with the Southwest Florida Water Management District to approve a 1.6-acre expansion. • Pirate Shores, an addition to the existing Pirate Cove ski attraction, will feature rides, games, and retail shopping. The initial documents suggest it will be similar to the Legoland California Pirate Shores.

• The former site of Cypress Gardens, Legoland Florida opened in October 2011. The waterpark opened in late May. Source: The Lakeland Ledger, August 20, 2012

Number of ‘Underwater’ Homes in Polk on decline • The percentage of local residential properties with mortgages in negative equity dropped from 51.7% at the end of last year to 50.8%, according to the latest report by Corelogic.

• A home is considered “underwater” or in negative equity when the amount the owners owe on mortgage is worth more than the property. The 50.8% negative equity is the lowest for Polk since 2009 Q3 (47.4%).

USF Health announces new alliance with Lakeland Regional

• USF has named Lakeland Regional the first member-hospital in the creation of its new health care system. The partnership is expected to add 200 medical residencies to the existing 712, making USF the largest doctor training program in the state. • The University expects to launch the USF Health System, including its existing 450-physician multi-specialty practice, in March 2013.

• USF will not buy the hospital, but refers to it as an “operational merger” in which both the school and the hospital will retain their board of directors. Tampa General Hospital, an independent institution, will remain USF’s main teaching hospital. Source: Tampa Bay Times, September 20, 2012

• The negative equity rate for the U.S. is 23.7%, down from 25.2% at the end of 2011. Source: The Lakeland Ledger, July 30, 2012

Winter Haven Hospital, BayCare Health Systems, exploring merger • Winter Haven Hospital has signed a letter of intent to become part of the BayCenter Health System by early to mid-2013. The organizations will spend the next four months further exploring financing and other obstacles to forming the union. • BayCare Health Systems is a collaboration of not-for-profit hospitals in the Tampa Bay area including 10 acute-care hospitals and one longterm care hospital.

• The announcement comes one year after Winter Haven Hospital announced they were looking to partner with other not-for-profit hospitals. Source: The Lakeland Ledger, August 29, 2012 Institute for Economic Competitiveness

• The reservoir did help during droughts in 2007 and 2011 but has not helped replenish the Loxahatchee River. Hopefully with the new pumping stations will help the reservoir. Source: Sun Sentinel, September 20, 2012

Jobs, character of Delray still at stake in budget talks

• The commissioners of Delray Beach are debating on what to cut in order to close the $4 million budget shortfall. The city’s budget is around $90 million so the $4 million is a small shortfall for the city. • One idea from the commissioners to help the shortfall is to implement an $84 per year fire assessment fee for all residents.

• The commission is hoping not to cut staff or to the holiday celebration Delray Beach holds. Source: Sun Sentinel, August 28, 2012

Broward Schools paids $800,000 for GPS, but rarely used it

• • The Broward County school system bought an $800,000 GPS system for school buses five years ago and barely used it. The system will no longer work after next summer either.

• • The plan was to use the GPS system in buses for learning disabled students and to create a system where parents could track where a bus was. The investment was the start to a multiyear plan that was halted after budget cuts to the School board.

• • The School Board members hope to reopen this plan, but the old GPS system would have to be thrown away and a completely new system be bought. Source: Sun Sentinel, September 19, 2012

P r o fi l e s

Out l o o k Summ a r i e s

The Naples–Marco Island MSA is comprised of Collier County only. Located on the southwest coast of Florida it is notable for numerous recreation and leisure activities. This region is sometimes referred to as the “Crown Jewel of Southwest Florida”. It is the largest county in Florida, geographically.

The Naples–Marco Island Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is expected to show strong growth in the economic indicators. The metro area will show the highest personal income growth among the studied metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) at 5.7 percent. Per capita income level, which is expected to be 55.2, is also the highest of the MSAs. Average annual wage will be at a level of 50.3. The average annual wage is expected to grow at a rate of 2.7 percent, the highest of the twelve MSAs. Population growth will average 1.9 percent, the second highest in the studied areas and the Gross Metro Product level will be 13,287.08 (Mill).

Quick Facts: • Population estimate of 328,134 as of July 1, 2011 (U.S. Census Bureau). • A civilian labor force of 151,357 in April 2012 (U.S. Census Bureau). • An unemployment rate of 7.4% not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 11,255 unemployed people (U.S. Census Bureau). Top Area Employers: • Naples Community Hospital – 4,000 • The Ritz-Carlton, Naples – 1,100 • Gargiulo, Inc. – 1,100 • Arthrex, Inc – 1,056

Employment growth is expected to average 2.7 percent each year, the highest of the MSAs. The metro will see an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent. The Professional and Business Services sector represents Naples’ fastest growing sector, growing at a rate of 5.5 percent each year. The Construction and Mining sector follows with a growth rate of 5.0 percent. The Federal Government sector is the only sector expected to decline this quarter at -5.0 percent.

M e t r o N e w s Summ a r i e s NCH Healthcare outsourcing 224 employees

• The NHC Healthcare System is outsourcing 224 employees who work in food service and housekeeping Oct. 1.

• NCH signed an agreement with Sodexo to take over the employment of the 114 food service workers and 110 housekeeping employees. • This outsource will allow the hospital system to focus on patient care as the healthcare industry faces declining reimbursement from the federal government for Medicare, increasing overhead costs, and other challenges.

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2012

Naples - Marco Island

Mercato work-space business opens Oct. 1

• Venture X, a members-only workspace, is expected to open Oct. 1 at the Mercato in North Naples.

• The idea behind the business arose after cofounder, David Diamond, visited technology hot-spots in Silicon Valley and New York. With no similar business in the area he filled the void with his co-founders through a West Coaststyle co-workspace. • As a modern co-working site, Venture X will facilitate collaboration, networking, classes, and community events to foster success. Source: The Naples News, September 19, 2012

Naples City Council notebook: Four Corners makeover to begin in April

• Council agreed to begin construction on the Four Corners crosswalk project in April, which will cross U.S. 41. • Once permits are approved by the Florida Department of Transportation work will begin on the $200,000 capital improvement project.

• Final costs will not be known until bids for the project have gone out. Source: The Naples News, August 22, 2012

It’s Your Business: Naples Publix on schedule for early December opening • The new 56,000-square-foot “hybrid” Publix at 1981 U.S. 41 N. is on track to open in early December.

About 30 people filled out applications in hopes of receiving one of the 1300 jobs that will be created if slot machines are permitted at the racetrack.

• In order for the racetrack to have the casino games, a county ordinance will need to be approved through a countywide referendum. State legislatures would also need to sign off.

• If it receives approval, a new entertainment center will be built. This would create at least 900 construction jobs, and after completion in 18 months the entertainment center will create 500 jobs ranging from bartending to security to technology. Source: The Naples News, September 13, 2012

Building block: Housing construction picking up locally, nationally

• Following a national trend, builders are pulling more permits and starting more new singlefamily homes in Lee and Collier counties than they have during the last four years.

• Prices have gone up and there has been strong sales absorption, indicating 2012 will be a much stronger year than 2011.

• Metrostudy, a real estate research and consulting firm, reports that in the most desirable neighborhoods in Lee and Collier counties the recovery has taken hold, while others are in “static.” Source: The Naples News, July 19, 2012

• The new store, No. 1,434, will feature natural and organic products, a soup bar, salad bar, and a Pacific wok. • This new Publix will replace the store No. 76, which work crews razed earlier this year. Source: The Naples News, September 18, 2012

Dog track shows off potential jobs if slot machines get approved • The job preview at the Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Track received a modest turnout.

P r o fi l e s

Out l o o k Summ a r i e s

Comprised of Marion County only, the Ocala MSA is located northwest of the Orlando area and is in the center of the state. The second largest national forest in Florida, the Ocala National Forest, and Silver Springs are two main outdoor attractions in the area.

The Ocala Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is expected to show varying strengths and weaknesses in the economic indicators. Personal income growth is expected to average 5.2 percent annually, the second highest of the twelve metros. Per capita income level is the second lowest of the twelve metros at 30.1. Relative to other metro areas, Ocala will have the lowest average annual wage level at 39.5. Average annual wage growth is expected to be 2.6 percent, the third highest of the MSAs. The metro has an expected annual population growth of 1.4 percent. The Gross Metro Product is expected to be 6,654.12 (Mill), the lowest in the studied areas.

Quick Facts:

• Population estimate of 331,298 as of 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau). • A civilian labor force of 131,340 in December of 2006 (Florida Department of Economic Opportunity).

• An unemployment rate of 9.7% not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 118,600 unemployed people (Florida Department of Economic Opportunity). Top Area Employers:

Employment growth is expected to average a rate of 1.9 percent annually. The unemployment rate is estimated to be 9.9 percent, the highest of the researched areas.

The Construction and Mining and the Professional and Business Services sectors are expected to be the fastest growing in Ocala, averaging an annual growth rate of 5.0 percent. These are followed by the Information sector at 2.0 percent growth. The Federal Government sector is the only sector expected to experience negative growth, with an average annual rate of -1.5 percent.

M e t r o N e w s Summ a r i e s Small businesses try various ways to survive, thrive

• Some businesses are downsizing to cope with the particularly poor unemployment statistics in Ocala MSA. • Some local consumers have pledged to only shop at local small businesses.

• This could be signaling a trend in consumer behavior in the Ocala MSA

• Other retailers are moving to online-based sales, which proves to require much less overhead. Source: Ocala.com, September 15, 2012

Dunnellon’s growth brings questions from some

• Dunnellon’s City Council on Aug. 27 annexed 500 acres along County Road 484 and nestled against the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport, nearly six miles east of town.

• Dunnellon’s most recent addition came at the request of the landowner, Boger Farms LLC.

• Dunnellon spokeswoman Harriet Daniels said the Bogers have not requested any land-use change or revealed any plan to develop it yet. • However, environmentalists worry it is only a matter of time until the land is sold for development, and Dunnellon residents worry that the local budget cannot be stretched any thinner.

Ocala OKs budgets, county fire dispatch plan

• Local government unanimously approved a consolidation program with Marion County for fire dispatchers.

• The millage rate for 2012-13 is 6.1502 per $1,000 of taxable value. That is a 3.7 percent increase over the current 5.9332.

• The new millage is the rolled-back rate, which is the rate at which the city will collect the same amount of tax revenue in 2013 as in 2012.

Officials believe Ocala’s central location ideal for inland port

• The city of Ocala has negotiated a memorandum of understanding with the Jacksonville Port Authority to explore a partnership that could include Ocala in the container port supply chain.

• City Manager Matthew Brower said the city has budgeted $150,000 in hopes of leveraging state money to get the work done.

• When the Panama Canal expansion is completed – now expected to be in 2015 – super-sized container ships from Asia will be able to pass through the canal. That could possibly bring more freight traffic to Florida ports. 60

• Companies like Wal-Mart and Sysco seriously looked at Ocala as a distribution area, but the companies went north when there were no prepared sites in Ocala. Source: Ocala.com, October 23

City Council to consider doubling size of Enterprise Zone

• The Ocala City Council will be asked in December to consider doubling the size of the Enterprise Zone from five to 10 square miles.

• Businesses in the zone are eligible for incentives that include sales tax credits for creating jobs, corporate income tax credits, sales tax refunds for business equipment and building materials, and a partial sales tax reduction for electric energy.

• The new boundaries would include the entire Ocala/Marion County Commerce Park property, commonly referred to as the Magna property, as well as more residential areas, which means employers could get a benefit from hiring residents inside the zone. Source: Ocala.com, October 22

Bank of America plans to hire 2 bankers in area to reach out to small businesses

• Bank of America is hiring two bankers in Ocala who will reach out to small local businesses. Several bankers already stationed in Ocala said the competition will be healthy for all. • Since October 2010, Bank of America has hired more than 130 small-business bankers in Florida.

• Since beginning this program, Bank of America has seen a roughly 39 percent increase in loan volume. • Local banks are welcoming the arrival and the competition it poses as a sign of good economic times to come. Source: Ocala.com, October 23

Out l o o k Summ a r i e s

The Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville MSA is comprised of Brevard County only. Typically known as “Florida’s Space Coast”, this area is home to the Kennedy Space Center. Located in the central part of Florida’s east coast, the region is home to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, Patrick Air Force Base and government contractors such as Harris Corporation. Like much of Florida, this area is growing fast; Port Canaveral is now a leading cruise ship port.

The Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is expected to see moderate growth in the economic indicators. Personal income growth is expected to average 4.4 percent each year. Per capita income levels should average 35.4. Average annual wage growth is expected to be 2.6 percent. Average annual wage levels should be at 52.1, the second highest of the twelve studied MSAs. Population growth is expected to be an average of 1.0 percent, and the Gross Metro Product level is expected to be 16,769.72 (Mill).

Quick Facts:

• Population estimate of 543,573 as of July 1, 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau).

• A civilian labor force of 267,597 in December of 2011 (Florida Regional Economic Database).

• An unemployment rate of 11.1% not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 29,662 unemployed people (Florida Regional Economic Database). Top Area Employers:

• Brevard County School Board- 9,140

• Health First Employees - 6,350

• Harris Corporation Employees - 6,130

• United Space Alliance, LLC Employees – 3,830 • Brevard County Board of County Comm. – 2,390

• Department of Defense - 2260

• Health Management Associates – 2,220 • NASA – 2,210

• Brevard Community College – 1,580

• Rockwell Collins, Inc. Employees - 1,500 • DRS INC – 1,440

• Northrup Grumman – 1,400

• Florida Institute of Technology – 1,190 Source: Brevard Economic Development Council, 2011

Employment growth is forecasted to average 1.6 percent each year. The metro will see an average unemployment rate of 8.7 percent, the third highest of the studied metros.

Construction and Mining is expected to be the fastest growing sector in the area, averaging 4.2 percent growth annually. The Professional and Business Services sector will see the second highest annual growth rate at 3.6 percent, followed closely by the Information sector at 1.4 percent. Only the Federal Government sector will experience negative growth, at an average of -3.0 percent annually.

M e t r o N e w s Summ a r i e s Contractors on the brink

• With massive defense cuts looming in early 2013, local contractors hope Congress takes action soon.

• These cuts are a result of the sequestration agreement made in congress, which promises cuts to partisan programs, such as defense and welfare, if congress cannot agree on fiscal policy. • 1,600 in Brevard County could be punished if Congress can’t restore the money • Brevard stands to lose about $300 million, officials say.

Jobs agency alters course to aid space employees

• Mass layoffs of local shuttle workers loomed in June 2010 when help arrived in the form of a $15 million emergency grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

• Most of the money was budgeted to go to onthe-job training, but surprisingly it has instead been spent on more basic career services, like how to search for a job, write resumes, interview and network.

• The grant’s ultimate goal remains to serve a total of 3,200 displaced aerospace workers, with at least 2,240 finding new employment.Brevard Workforce is optimistic it will meet by the time the grant expires next June.

M e t r o N e w s Summ a r i e s FSU matches $4.1M grant when state can’t

• Helga Wall-Apelt made a donation of $4.1 million to the Florida State University’s art museum that was supposed to be matched by the state.

• Because the state was not able to match her donation due to the economic recession, Florida State University borrowed money from the FSU foundation to match the donation. • FSU was fearful of losing the donation and therefore decided to borrow the money.

City prepares to end occupation

• The Occupy Tallahassee movement was given a month-to-month agreement by the city of Tallahassee, but the last agreement expired in the beginning of September.

Leon High School Foundation aims to raise $1M for academics • The Leon High School Foundation is aiming to establish a $1-million endowment for Leon High School. The campaign name is “Keep Leon Strong.” The organization is thirty years old and supplies the school with grants, scholarships, and school supplies.

• The foundation will be asking parents and alumni of the high school to make donations until the goal is reached. The money will go to fund academic and extra-curricular activities that have been underfunded.

• The foundation also pumps a substantial amount of money into new technology for Leon High School. The school is one of the oldest in the nation, but the technology that the foundation supplies keeps students engaged and teachers more creative. Source: Tallahassee Democrat, September 18, 2012

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2012

I n du s t r y L o c a ti o n Q u o ti e n t

E x p l a n a ti o n a n d I n t e r p r e t a ti o n This technique compares the local economy to a reference economy; in this case, the local economy is the chosen MSA, and the reference economy is the state of Florida. An Industry Location Quotient (LQ) is calculated to determine if the local economy has a greater share of each industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment than the reference economy. The LQ helps to identify specializations that exist in the local economy. There are only three possible outcomes: 1. An LQ greater than one 2. An LQ equal to one and 3. An LQ less than one. An LQ that is greater than one means that the share of local employment in that particular industry is greater than the reference economy employment share in that same industry. This implies that some of the goods or services produced by that industry are exported for consumption elsewhere. An LQ of one means that local demand is met by the local industry. No goods/services are imported or exported from the local area in that industry. The share of local employment in that industry is equal to the share for that industry in the reference economy. An LQ less than one implies that the industry is not meeting local demand for that good or service, and in order to meet demand, that area must import that good or service. This also means that the share of local employment in that industry is less than the share of employment in that industry for the reference economy.

C a l cu l a ti o n An industry location quotient is a calculated ratio of two ratios. LQ = ((Local employment in industry A in year T / Total local employment in year T) / (Reference economy employment in industry A in year T) / (Total reference employment in year T)) For example: Orlando MSA employment for Information is 27,400 Total Orlando MSA nonagricultural employment is 1,104,100 Florida employment for Information is 169,800 Total Florida nonagricultural employment is 8,247,000 LQ = ((27,400 / 1,104,100) / (169,800 / 8,247,000)) = 1.2039 Source: Florida Regional Economic Database, Current Employment Statistics, December 2006
