Fast forward to the present, and as this year comes to a close, we are still counting. Only this time, we are counting the number of foreclosed homes and the amount of people who have lost their jobs. And, for the first time, we are counting the number of people who are starting to leave Florida and move to another state. It appears Florida may be one of the last to come out of the recession. When we do recover, our state may be a little different. Hopefully, our politicians, banks and other businesses have learned many lessons this past year. We have all had to learn to do more with less.

H i g h l i g ht s o f the F l o r i d a F o r eca s t 2010 -2013 • 2010 begins just as 2009 ended, with Florida in a recession, another wave of job losses, and unemployment on the rise. • 2010, however, will end on a different note, with a slowly expanding economy, tepid job growth, and the start of an extended period of slowly declining unemployment rates. • Payroll employment in Florida will have declined by 800,000 jobs from the 1st quarter of 2007 through the 1st quarter of 2010. Finally, job growth feebly reappears in the 2nd quarter of 2010. Year-over-year job growth remains negative until the 4th quarter of 2010. • Payroll job growth year-over-year is expected to average 2.3% in 2011, 3.3% in 2012, and 2.9% in 2013. It will be 2014 before payroll employment recovers to its pre-recession levels. • Vultures will continue to dine on Florida’s housing carrion, but they will not have the appetite to consume the entire cornucopia the state has to offer. • 2010 unfortunately promises to be another challenging year for the housing market. A recovering, but still feeble economy, credit conditions that will remain tight, and a large shadow inventory all point to a doggedly persistent surplus of housing. • Unemployment rates, already in double digits, will continue to slowly climb in 2010, with average unemployment peaking at 11.9%. Unemployment will stay above 10% through the 1st quarter of 2012, and will then begin a painfully slow decline from its peak. • Unemployment will still be stubbornly high by the end of 2013, averaging 8.3% in the 4th quarter. • The sectors forecasted to have the strongest growth during 2010-2013 are Professional and Business Services (4.7%) Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (2.5%) and Education and Health Services (1.9%). • Florida’s population is expected to decline again in 2009, and will remain flat in the first half of 2010, before in-migration picks up and population growth slowly begins to climb to 1.5% in 2013. • Florida’s housing construction sector bottomed out in 2009. Housing starts will begin to climb over the next several years. In 2013, housing starts will recover to 2001 levels, rising gradually to 171,000 starts. • After two years of contracting, Real Gross State Product (GSP) will slowly expand in 2010, accelerate to 4.2% in 2012, and ease to 3.3% in 2013. The 2010-2013 average growth rate will be 3.1%. • Personal income growth contracted sharply in 2009, but growth begins to accelerate in 2010 to 1.6%. In 2011-2013, personal income growth will average 5.6% and will peak at 6.3% in 2012. • During 2010-2013, retail sales will steadily accelerate after a weak first half of 2010. They will grow at an average pace of 5.6% as consumer spending finally returns.

…Yet E v e r y thi n g ’ s C ha n g e d The New Year begins not with a bang, but with a whimper. That moaning comes from a recession in its death throes, but also from a labor market that continues to worsen. Essentially, 2010 begins just as 2009 ended—with the economy in the dumps and the state facing the prospect of a long, hard road ahead on its economic recovery. Florida’s short-term recovery is made more difficult by the temporary decline in population. Although this fall in population should begin to reverse itself in 2010 as population growth recovers, the state will see a lower rate of population growth than what has historically been the case. As I have noted in previous forecasts, the declining population growth rate is a process that has been playing itself out over the past three decades. It reflects the rising cost of living in Florida that has accompanied the state’s economic growth in the same period. The new lower rates of population growth are a game-changer for Florida. They will have an impact on everything from how we finance state and local governments, to how we position ourselves for Florida’s economic future.

Strong population growth can cover a multitude of sins. In Florida, it did just that by allowing a flawed tax structure to succeed, and to grow the state’s economy almost by default. As more and more people moved to Florida, the size of the economy grew. The new Floridians needed housing, and the construction industry flourished. They also needed all of the goods and services that come with a household purchase, and thus the economic growth spread across all sectors. Florida could kick back and watch its economy grow without doing much heavy lifting. 6

Florida & Metro Forecast - December 2009

All this economic activity generated sales tax, property tax, and other forms of government revenue. As property values marched higher, and the construction boom set in, the government found that its cup runneth over. Changes to the tax structure took place that pushed more of the burden of paying taxes from long-time residents of Florida, to the thousands of new Floridians pouring into the state each month. The state was succeeding despite itself.

Then, the housing boom went bust, and population not only stopping robustly growing, it actually started to decline. Florida’s economy took a wild swing from the housing-fueled mania it had been riding for several years, to a deep recession and three straight years of job losses. Government at the state and local levels, as well as school districts, found themselves with massive budget shortfalls. The old model for economic growth was predicated on strong population growth. Gaudy rates of population growth will no longer be par for the course in Florida, and thus the model for economic development must evolve, as must the tax structure. Growing the economy will no longer be cheap; it will require significant investment by government into Florida’s infrastructure, and into its labor force (via research and education). It will take strong, visionary leadership to ensure that Florida can compete in this new environment, because very difficult choices lay ahead. You see, a funny thing happened on the way to this recovery. Everything changed.

Florida’s Housing Market

Florida Association of Realtors (FAR), and cover the housing market through October 2009. Sales (Figure 1) have continued to rebound nicely, but median prices (Figure 2) are still searching for a firm bottom to their precipitous plunge.

Sales continue to rise, but prices are still languishing We believe that in 2009, housing starts hit their nadir in Florida. As levels slowly start to climb in 2010, it will come as a small bit of good news, after what have been several dismal years. Starts, while rising, will be just a fraction of what they were previously—a serious weakening of what was once the heart of Florida’s economy.

Mortgage rates remain at historic lows; unfortunately, the benefit of these low-cost funds escapes those who are unable to get loans. Refinancing is a near impossibility for those who have seen their home’s value plummet over the past several years, and many new mortgage borrowers are also facing difficult credit conditions. The low end of the housing spectrum is benefitting from these low rates, available credit, and the extension of the firsttime home buyers’ credit.

That shadow inventory, comprised of foreclosed homes that banks are holding rather than putting immediately on the market, will eventually find its way back onto the market. This flow will make it more difficult for prices to stabilize.

2010, unfortunately, promises to be yet another challenging year for the housing market. A recovering, but still feeble economy, credit conditions that will remain tight, and a large shadow inventory all point to a doggedly persistent surplus of housing.

Once you get outside of the first home segment of the housing market, things remain fairly grim. Credit is still exceedingly tight for the middleand high-end markets. As a result, these market segments continue to stagnate. Couple tight credit conditions with high unemployment and Florida’s population stagnation, and you end up with a housing sector that is still ailing.

Introductory microeconomics tells us that any market in which there exists a surplus will see downward pressure on prices as the market “feels” its way toward a new equilibrium–a process known in the economics business as tatonnement.

Institute for Economic Competitiveness

F l o r i d a Su m m a r y

Tatonnement is a French word that is literally translated into “groping.” In the market context, it is a description of the trial-and-error process by which prices move toward equilibrium. However, this process of finding equilibrium in the housing market is going to feel more like molestation to home owners in Florida. Prices will likely continue to fall, as housing inventories remain elevated across the state, and many buyers continue to face difficulty obtaining loans. The steep drop in prices has stimulated sales however. The 12-month moving average (the smoother of the two lines plotted in Figure 1) of existing home sales in Florida has been rising for 13 months straight, and continues to be pulled up by monthly sales that are higher than that moving average.

Prices have fallen substantially, as Figure 2 clearly displays. In many parts of the state, builders tell me that prices have fallen below replacement costs. This is clearly a phenomenon that is short-run in nature and reflects the large number of distressed properties, foreclosures, and short sales. Prices are trying to find a bottom, and the 12month moving average of the median sales prices continues to fall. In October, that median price fell by $1,700, and now stands at $140,300. It is too soon to declare this as the low point for prices, but we appear to be in the neighborhood of a bottom.

Outlook for Florida 2010-2013 Gross State Product Welcome Back Economic Growth, We Really Missed You Real Gross State Product (GSP) in Florida, the state-level analogue to real GDP, will finally see an annual increase again in 2010. The shape of the recovery in Florida will also resemble the “Gravy Boat” path of the national economy. Growth will be muted in the first year to year and a half, and 8

Florida & Metro Forecast - December 2009

will accelerate slowly in this expansion. From 2010, real GSP growth in Florida will average just 1.8%. Things will begin to accelerate in 2011.

Real GSP growth will accelerate in the latter half of 2011, and then will rise further to average 4.3% growth in 2012-2013, as the economy begins to produce at full strength once again.

Nominal Gross State Product is expected to reach nearly $870 billion in 2013, as Florida continues closing in on becoming a trillion-dollar economy–a threshold that has been getting pushed further into the future by the long, deep recession and the “gravy boat” recovery. We have now pushed back that date, yet again, to 2017, when we are forecasting GSP to finally break the trillion-dollar mark. Whether it is today’s economy of nearly ¾ of a trillion dollars, or the trillion dollar economy that Florida will eventually become, the Sunshine State still represents one of the world’s largest economies, despite the trials and tribulations of the past several years.

Personal Income, Retail Sales, and Auto Sales Personal income growth will accelerate as we move through 2010 and 2011. In the last two years of this forecast, we expect personal income growth to average a healthy 6.1%, as the memory of the recession fades away.

Real disposable income growth will continue to be depressed by the floundering economy. Though price deflation and tax cuts temporarily boosted real disposable income growth, a recent surge in prices has taken back a large share of the gains in 2009. A continued worsening of Florida’s labor markets, and an unemployment rate expected to peak at 11.9% and remain in double digits until 2012, will weigh on real disposable income growth. However, falling home prices do have a small silver lining, as many Floridians are seeing their property taxes fall substantially. In 2011-2013, with the economy fully emerged from recession, real disposable income will expand at an average pace of 2.9%. There remains

F l o r i d a Su m m a r y

significant uncertainty in the outlook for disposable income, specifically as it relates to future tax rates at both the federal and state level. It is possible that future tax hikes will lead to an even higher chunk of income going to the government than we are currently assuming. Consumers in Florida have been besieged, much more so than many of their counterparts around the country, by disappearing home equity and faded stock market wealth. Wealth represents future consumption, and therefore affects spending and saving decisions today. With so much wealth destroyed, consumers have cut back on spending, and have been saving (furiously by U.S. consumers’ historical standards), rebuilding nest eggs that may only be 50% of what they once were. This has resulted in a jump in the national saving rate that, for an extended period, was negative, and now has been hovering between 4% and 5%.

The images of consumers lining up outside of retail stores in Florida the night before Black Friday, rushing into the store once it opened, and then leaving a few hours later with overflowing carts, painted a picture that belies the reality of Florida’s consumer. Just off-screen, the cameras didn’t show the empty storefronts in the same strip mall, vacated by retail shops that have failed during the recession. When the final tally is made, this year will see another horrible holiday shopping season, and like last season, I expect that these disappointing results will be followed by a wave of retail bankruptcies. Double digit unemployment will weigh on consumer spending, but as the labor market slowly improves, it will help buoy consumer confidence. Pent-up demand, and a clearer sense that their jobs are safe, will help unlock some of the spending that uncertainty about the future had inhibited.

Retail sales in Florida saw a Cash for Clunkers/“relief rally” boost in the 3rd quarter of 2009, but will decelerate into the New Year. The 1st quarter of 2010 will see retail spending fall again, as the final rise in unemployment impacts the economy and consumers cut back even more. As we get to the

second half of the year, the recovery will be higher profile, the consumer will begin to spend more freely, and retail sales will accelerate.

The recession, credit crunch, volatile energy prices, and a collapsing domestic automotive industry will conspire to bring average new passenger car and truck registrations down overall for a fourth straight year in 2009. After four years of declines, new vehicle registrations did indeed surge in the 3rd quarter of 2009, thanks to the Cash for Clunkers program, but this surge will be short lived. We still believe that total registrations will contract again in the next two quarters. In the 2nd quarter of 2010, registrations will begin to climb once again, but will not reach the Cash for Clunkers/3rd quarter 2009 levels until the 3rd quarter of 2010. That is not saying a whole lot, given that despite the Clunkers boost, registrations were still down 33% from prerecession levels. In 2012 and 2013, a much improved economy will help to drive new vehicle registration growth higher. In 2012, registration levels will hit 1.16 million, putting 2012 levels on par with those recorded in 1998. In 2013, registrations should reach nearly 1.3 million.

Employment Overall payroll employment growth in the state is expected to shrink by -4.8% for 2009, versus a year ago. This comes after contracting at a -3.2% rate in 2008, compared to 2007. National job growth is expected to be -3.8% for 2009, after contracting by -0.4% in 2008, versus 2007.

Job losses in Florida will persist throughout the remainder of 2009, and through the 1st quarter of 2010. Even though payrolls will begin to grow in 2010, the average level of employment in 2010 will still be below the average for 2009. Once payroll growth does take root in 2010, it will slowly gain momentum throughout 2011, a year when job growth is expected to come in at 2.3%. Payroll job growth will reach 3.3% in 2012, before easing to 2.9% in 2013. Despite the acceleration of job growth, it will be 2014 before payroll employment levels return to their pre-recession peak. Institute for Economic Competitiveness

The Construction sector, which has imploded after peaking during the housing boom, will continue to show the painful effects of the pitiful housing market, the credit freeze, and a burgeoning crisis in commercial construction markets. Any job creation from the shovel-ready projects that will (eventually) be funded by the federal economic stimulus plan will help resurrect some jobs in this sector. The bottom of the residential real estate market will give way to tepid growth in housing starts, but it will not be enough to have a major impact on employment in this sector. Despite the economic stimulus bill, this sector will be the worst-performing sector in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy on average through 2013, as far as job growth is concerned. Cumulative job losses in the sector have been nothing short of catastrophic. It will be two decades before the construction sector has payroll employment levels back to the pre-recession peaks hit in 2006.

Job growth will not return to the construction sector until the 2nd quarter of 2011. Growth rates are expected to surge to 6.3% in 2012 and 7.0% in 2013, as the commercial sector joins the residential sector in recovery, the full force of the stimulus spending is felt, and the overall economic turnaround is in full swing.

This recession has seen job losses that have transcended virtually all sectors of the economy, and have not spared any socioeconomic strata. Many white collar job losses are reflected in the performance of the Professional and Business Services sector. Job losses in this sector will exceed 214,000 by the end of the 1st quarter of 2010. Once the economy exits the recession, and after a slow first year of recovery, this sector will once again grow robustly in Florida. In 2010, job growth is expected to turn positive after more than two years of job losses. Job gains accelerate from that point and rise to 8.7% in 2011, 7.6% in 2012, and 5.1% in 2013. This sector will recover more quickly, and will get back to its pre-recession levels of employment in 2013. 10

Florida & Metro Forecast - December 2009

The Information sector will continue to shed jobs through the middle of 2010, as newspapers continue to struggle amidst the structural changes gripping the industry. Advertising revenues have fallen off dramatically, thanks in large part to the ongoing woes of the automotive industry, as well as several major newspapers and publishing groups that are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. All of these outlets are still trying to figure out a model that will work in the Internet Age. Advertising via a banner ad on a website simply does not bring in the level of revenue that full page print ads will. Unfortunately, circulation is shrinking, as more and more people get information via the web. 2011 will be the first year of job growth in this sector after nine of the ten prior years featured job losses, including five straight years of job losses leading up to 2011. Job growth will jump to 3.1% in 2011 and more or less stabilizes at 1.8% in 20122013.

The one sector that continued to create jobs during the recession, and that is expected to continue to expand through the end of our forecast horizon, is the Health and Education sector. Throughout 2010-2013, employment in this sector is expected to expand at an average rate of 1.9%. The average growth rate for overall payroll employment during the same time frame is expected to be 1.6%. It is still difficult to tell exactly how healthcare reform will play itself out in Washington, but clearly the momentum is toward expanding coverage. Couple that with an aging population in Florida, and it seems clear that demand for health services will remain strong for the foreseeable future. This rising demand will continue to drive job growth in this sector.

Manufacturing will continue to contract in Florida through the 3rd quarter of 2010. Globalization and productivity gains in manufacturing have combined to severely reduce employment in this sector. As the Nietzsche quote goes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does not kill me, makes me stronger.â&#x20AC;? This sector will come out of this difficult period leaner than it ever has been, and as competitive as it has been in many years.

F l o r i d a Su m m a r y

We are expecting to see job growth of 2.5% in this sector for the full year in 2011. This will be followed by an even stronger year of job growth in 2012, when manufacturing employment will expand at a rate of 4.9%. For the first time in decades, manufacturing is expected to gain jobs in three consecutive years, as 2013 job growth is expected to be 3.7%.

The problem of underemployment and discouraged workers–those who have given up searching for a job–is substantial, and will be a factor behind the jobless recovery. When adding these workers to the top level unemployment figure, this broader measure of unemployment paints an even more grim picture of labor markets, and is over 17% nationally.

Unemployment Unemployment rates in the state have surged from record low levels that were driven down by the excesses of the housing boom. During the boom years, the growth rate of Florida’s economy was extraordinary, and real GSP growth averaged 5.4% during 2003-2006. The persistent high growth served to drive down the unemployment rate, which averaged just 3.4% in 2006.

Strong growth had the effect of ratcheting down the unemployment rate, and when that growth gave way to a strong recession, the unemployment rate began to soar. Florida’s unemployment rate, once more than a full percentage point below the historically low national unemployment rate, now has risen above the double digit rate of national unemployment. Both will peak in 2010. After the peak, Florida’s unemployment rate will decline slowly, and remain above the national unemployment rate, as the “gravy boat” recovery plays itself out. Tepid growth will help to whittle down unemployment.

How high will unemployment get? We are expecting unemployment to rise to 11.9% in the 1st quarter of 2010, and remain above 10% until the 2nd quarter of 2012. Thereafter, unemployment will begin a slow decline through the end of 2013. By the end of that year unemployment will still be uncomfortably high at 8.3%.

There is no reason to believe that there will be a rapid reversal in the unemployment rate following its peak without a robust recovery to drive it down. As we saw during the boom, strong growth can quickly and dramatically ratchet down the unemployment rate, but weak growth can only slowly erode high unemployment.

F l o r i d a Ne w s Su m m a r ie s Florida officially in running for federal high-speed rail funding

• Governor Crist has officially put Florida in the competition for the $8 billion in federal stimulus funding designated for major transportation projects. • The high-speed rail would link Tampa, Orlando, and eventually Miami.

• In addition, $2.5 billion through the Florida Department of Transportation would allow construction on the TampaOrlando segment to start next year. If these plans go through, Miami could be added by 2017. Source: Jacksonville Business Journal, October 5, 2009

Florida workers’ compensation insurance rate cut approved

• Florida’s Insurance Commissioner, Kevin McCarty, approved a 6.8% rate decrease for new and renewed workers’ compensation insurance.

• There will be an estimated savings of more than $166 million for employers in the state.

• Workers’ compensation rates have been declining since 2003 when the state legislature limited attorney fees. In that time, Florida has gone from having the highest rates in the country, to one of the 10 states with the lowest rates. Source: Tampa Bay Business Journal, October 15, 2009

Florida sues two online travel giants over tax issue

• Following suit with many county governments, the state of Florida is suing online travel booking giants Orbitz and Expedia over millions in unpaid bed taxes to both the state and local governments.

• A spokesperson from the Interactive Travel Service Association has stated that the companies do not owe the full amount of state taxes on room rentals. He says that the issue at hand is whether a company that is not a hotel should pay a hotel tax.

• Orange County, which has been at the forefront of the legal battle, could be owed as much as $100 million in unpaid taxes. Source: Orlando Sentinel, November 3, 2009

Cigarette sales plummet in Florida after tax increase

• Sales of cigarettes have dropped approximately 20% since the $1-per-pack tax increase in July. Some counties have seen a drop of 50%.

• The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation says that sales totaled more than 100 million packs statewide in June 2009. • Statewide sales were about 78 million in September 2009. Source: ABC Action News, November 17, 2009

Florida unemployment tax on businesses to skyrocket

• The minimum unemployment compensation tax will increase next year from $8.40 per employee to $100.30, nearly a twelvefold increase. The maximum tax will rise from $378 to $459 per employee.

• The increase is automatic under Florida state law, set off when the balance in the state’s Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund falls below 4% of taxable payroll. • The fund fell from last year’s balance of $1.3 billion to zero in August. Source: Miami Herald, November 18, 2009

Florida gets $1.25M for green jobs

• The U.S. Department of Labor has granted The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation $1.25 million to support job training that would expand green industries and related occupations.

• The grants were part of a $55-million green job grant program that included two types of grants, one aimed at green job training, targeting special disadvantaged groups of workers, and the other aimed at connecting job seekers with clean industries post-training. • Other Florida groups that received grants include the Urban League of Broward County and the Florida Institute for Workforce Innovation Inc. Source: Jacksonville Business Journal, November 19, 2009

State pushes high-school end-of-course tests

• By 2011, the Florida Department of Education plans to join 21 other states in implementing end-of-course standardized exams for all high school students enrolled in algebra 1 and geometry.

• Officials view these exams as a critical component of high school education reform. They state that these exams will raise the standard of education by eliminating the differences in how these classes are taught between districts and even between individual schools. • Concerns over how to pay for these exams are not unfounded, as each exam will cost about $1.5 million each year when fully developed and implemented. Source: Orlando Sentinel, November 27, 2009

Online sales tax nets sparse results for state

• Studies have suggested that Florida could be losing $1 billion a year in unpaid taxes from Internet sales. Currently, online companies based in states that do not have a sales tax do not have to remit any sales tax from purchases made in Florida.

• The Florida Retail Federation says that these online companies have an “unfair” advantage over Florida’s brick-and-mortar business. • The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has set up an operation to monitor these online sales and has hired six auditors and a “revenue specialist” to assist with the extra workload.

Wal-Mart loses Supercenter bid • The city’s Development Review Board will not reconsider its decision to deny Wal-Mart’s plans to build a new Supercenter in northwest Gainesville. Wal-Mart’s development plan was inconsistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning codes. • The board gave Wal-Mart two opportunities to revise their plans, but didn’t think the company went far enough with their changes to approve the new plans. • The ruling focused on the design of the Supercenter, not the issue of whether Wal-Mart should build on the site. Wal-Mart has 30 days from October 28 to appeal the decision. Source: The Gainesville Sun, October 30, 2009 Two sites preferred for new elementary schools • The Alachua County School Board has plans to build a new elementary school to decrease the current overcrowding in elementary schools. • The 18-acre Oakmont property, located in the west urban area, and the 20-acre Tillman property in High Springs have been accepted as recommendations, among other sites. • The school board’s decision to approve a prototype to be built at either location should be reached by December. If approved, the new school would be opening in fall 2011. Source: The Gainesville Sun, November 6, 2009

UF faculty is undergoing a big transformation • In an effort to cut $6 million out of its budget, the University of Florida is offering voluntary retirement buyouts. Faculty members who chose this option receive an extra year’s salary. • Another initiative focuses on eliminating vacant faculty positions. About 60 positions will need to be eliminated to reach the required $6 million in cuts. • At the same time, UF plans to hire 100 new faculty members, spending $10 million in federal stimulus money and relying on tuition increases to cover their salaries. Source: The Gainesville Sun, November 12, 2009 Natural pollution solution • The $24-million Sheetflow Restoration Project’s main goal is to clean up the Alachua Sink by restoring over 1,300 acres of wetlands affected with the high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. • As part of the project, Gainesville Regional Utilities’ Main Street Reclamation Facility will reduce the level of phosphorus discharged into the creek, and an 80-year-old trench dug through the prairie will be filled, allowing for natural dispersion of the water into the wetlands. • The city and GRU are providing 75% of the funding; the other 25% will come through state and federal allocations.

Dredging near Mayport Naval Station OK’d by Congress • U.S. Congressional approval has been given for a $46.3 million dredging project and for $29.6 million in wharf updates. The project is seen as a crucial step toward the Mayport station becoming a home port to nuclear aircraft carriers. • Negotiators state that the project was approved only because the dredging is necessary for visiting ships to use the station, and that the recent authorization does not necessarily indicate support for the establishment of a new home port. • Florida members of Congress continue to push for support for the upgrade, based on the view that having only one East Coast carrier port represents a strategic danger for national security. Source: The Florida Times-Union, October 23, 2009 $5B transportation plan OK’d for NE Florida • A transportation plan for Northeast Florida was unanimously passed by the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization’s board. The $5 billion plan spans two decades and will be updated every five years. • The plan includes $777 million for non-road projects, such as a commuter rail and buses—a shift that is due to the mid-2008 spike in gasoline prices, publicity about commuter rails, and the impact of vehicle emissions on the environment. • The main projects in the $5 billion plan include $1.8 billion for the construction of the First Coast Outer Beltway—a four-lane toll road spanning more than 46 miles, $45 million for the rebuilding of the Mathews Bridge, and $142 million for the widening of a stretch of State Road A1A to six lanes.

EPA program includes Jacksonville • The Environmental Protection Agency chose 10 cities, including Jacksonville, as part of their Environmental Justice Showcase Communities initiative. The initiative is a demonstration project, aimed at improving public health and the environment. • The EPA will give $100,000 to each city over the next two years. Some of the other cities include Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Washington D.C. and Salt Lake City. • The project highlights the high level of environmental burdens that restrict growth in low-income and minority communities; the model cities are expected to provide lessons to amend the situation. Source: Jacksonville Business Journal, November 17, 2009 Busy Memorial Hospital expands with $81M wing • Memorial Hospital has opened a new $81 million, five-story tower that adds 51 beds to the 353 beds already available. • As the busiest hospital in Duval and Clay counties, Memorial Hospital operated at an average bed capacity of 87% in 2008, higher than a hospital’s ideal occupancy of 75%. • State records also suggest that hospitals in these counties may have more beds than the area needs. The nine hospitals in the area have more than 2,800 acute-care beds, with only a 67% capacity rate in 2008. Source: The Florida Times-Union, December 2, 2009

Source: The Lakeland Ledger, October 6, 2009 Mosaic plans resort facility in Polk County • Mosaic Co. has announced plans to build a luxury resort on over 16,000 acres of reclaimed phosphate land west of Fort Meade. • While still in the planning stage, the resort would be an estimated $50 to $80 million investment in the community. • According to the company’s estimate, the project would create 250 to 280 full-time jobs in Polk County. Source: The Lakeland Ledger, November 16, 2009 Polk braces for class size change • Starting next year, the class-size amendment to the Florida Constitution will apply to all “core” classes, limiting the number of students a class can hold. • Polk County School Board members and district officials said the county will have to hire 300 to 600 new teachers just to teach a handful of students. Schools may run out of classrooms, and classes may be broken up several times a year. • School Board members, who believe the amendment is expensive, say it will have a disastrous impact on education and will be “almost impossible” to implement.

Source: Tampa Bay Business Journal, November 23, 2009 Hot deals, cool shoppers • Like the rest of the country, Lakeland shoppers left their holiday dinners to camp outside retail stores to get the best deals on Black Friday. • Lakeland Square Mall officially opened at 6 a.m., but most of the stores opened early because of the number of people lined up outside. By 8 a.m., 90% of the mall’s 4,450 spaces were full. By noon, traffic in the mall was up nearly 30% from last year. • Overall, local retailers were happy with the results of Black Friday and show optimism as shoppers spend a little more this holiday season.

Met r o Ne w s Su m m a r ie s South Florida hotels’ stress could lure buyers • Hotels across the Miami area are suffering fates similar to that of the Shore Club, a South Beach hotel that saw a 113% drop in profits for summer 2009. • Miami hotels that have taken out loans in the past four years are seeing the biggest troubles, a problem that many experts say could still cause a crash in the financial system. • The market for expensive Miami hotel rooms has also seen a steep decline in the face of the recession, forcing businesses to revert room rates to 2006 levels.

Consumer prices in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale slip 0.6% • The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 0.6% drop in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale metropolitan prices in October versus one year ago. • This figure came amid steep declines in apparel, recreation, and transportation costs for the area. • The consumer price index, released bi-monthly, found that prices in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area were up 0.5% from August 2009. Source: Miami Herald, November 18, 2009 Rise in bookings may signal rebound for South Florida hotels • Many believe that the discounted rates and low occupancy that have plagued the South Florida hotel industry may soon begin to wane with the advent of “high tourism season” this winter. • Large reductions in travel spending haven’t stopped Miami hotels from raising rates during the Art Basel Miami Beach. The same room at the hotel “Delano” that goes for $825 during the week of the event will go for $345 next week. • Many hotel managers, such as Peter Zahora, are looking to the future with optimism. Zahora asserted, “it looks like the slide [in rates and bookings] is either slowing down or reversing.’’ Source: Miami Herald, December 1, 2009 Art Basel opens with pomp and optimism. • Vendors and art buffs alike have kicked off this year’s Miami Art Basel with optimism as collectors have begun making sizable purchases and observers enjoy the atmospheric buzz of the annual art festival. • Last year’s event suffered in the midst of the darkest portion of the recession, causing art sales to slump.

Florida & Metro Forecast - December 2009

• Some collectors such as Martin Margulies rationalize purchasing expensive works of art in a struggling economy saying, “The dollar is low. It’s a safe place to put money–if you know what you’re doing.’’ Source: Miami Herald, December 2, 2009 Unions balking at county furloughs despite budget deal • The difficult task of bridging a $109 million budget deficit gap prompted county commissioners to propose a five day furlough for the 5,900 employees who work at the airport, seaport, parks, libraries and other agencies. • The proposal is part of an effort to cut Brevard County government services and keep property taxes at their current rate. • An instrumental union has already rejected the furlough proposal, and other unions are skeptical. • Rejection of the furlough could create a $6.3 million hole in the county’s 3 billion dollar budget. Officials will be meeting behind closed doors to try to mitigate the crisis. Source: Miami Herald, December 3, 2009

• Collier County School Board – 3,350 employees

• NCH Healthcare Systems – 2,700 employees

Out l o o k Su m m a r ie s The Naples—Marco Island MSA is expected to show varying strengths and weaknesses in the economic indicators. The metro area is ranked number one in the state of Florida for personal income growth, with a 5.4 percent growth rate, and also for per capita income level, which is expected to be 64.2. Average annual wage will be the second highest in the state at a level of 50.0. The average annual wage is expected to grow at a rate of 2.6 percent, one of the highest in the state. Population growth will average at 1.0 percent, and the Gross Metro Product level will be at 11,521.35 (Mill). Employment growth is expected to average 1.2 percent each year.

• Marco Island residents will not see a 20% rate increase on their water bills this year. • The utility’s committee came up with several recommendations and changes to earlier planned projects, which will help them save money and avoid “rate shock” when it comes to customers’ bills. • The committee is recommending a 9.5% increase this year, followed by 10.5%, 6%, 6%, and 1.5% increases in the next 4 years, respectively. This will result in a compounded 38% increase over five years, compared to an earlier projected 53% increase. Source: Naples News, November 2, 2009

Met r o Ne w s Su m m a r ie s Federal auditor scolds Ocala National Bank, its regulator • Ocala National bank incurred heavy losses from its high-risk, quick-growth policies, leading to its bankruptcy and a loss of $99.6 million to the FDIC, which insures deposits when banks fail. • The audit performed by the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Treasury Department states that weak and tardy regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency contributed to the bank’s failure, which showed signs of weaknesses as early as 2004.

Hospital vote keeps speculation about Munroe’s future alive • A vote by the Munroe Regional Medical Center trustees left the possibility of selling the hospital or considering looking for a new hospital operator on the table. • Trustees currently deem either possibility unlikely. For two years the trustees have been searching for a solution to deal with the hospital’s deepening financial troubles. • Two proposals involve a tax on Marion County citizens that would give the hospital $20 million. Some trustees suggest that the best option would be to look for a new provider to operate the hospital, replacing the current provider, Munroe Health Systems. Source: The Ocala Star Banner, October 30, 2009 District uses reserve funds for after-school program • Middle schools and high schools in the district will launch after-school programs as part of a plan intended to increase the academic achievement of those students needing extra help. • The $6 million plan uses up 40% of the district’s reserve funds, leaving $10 million for emergencies. • The School Board chose to use the reserve funds to pay for the program, rather than passing a tax on property.

Horse Park saddles up expansion • Florida Horse Park, a not-for-profit organization, will construct a new, 4,000-square-foot facility—a critical first step towards a multiphase construction project that will expand the park into a multi-purpose equine facility. • The facility, a wastewater treatment unit, a drain field, and at least one retention pond make up a $750,000 project that is part of Phase One. • The organization has an estimated economic impact of $15 million on Marion County and Florida. Source: The Ocala Star Banner, November 18, 2009 County adopts ‘totally new direction’ in future growth • Marion County has adopted a newly rewritten growth-management strategy for the next 25 years that updates the county’s current land-use plan, which had not been updated since 1998. • This Evaluation and Assessment Report (EAR) includes when and how the county will develop, and what infrastructure will accompany that development. • The report will be forwarded to the state Department of Community Affairs for review. If approved, the County Commission will have up to 18 months to adopt amendments that codify the incorporated changes. Source: The Ocala Star Banner, November 30, 2009

Bankruptcy filings jump to 50 percent in Central Florida

SunTrust Banks: More than 100 jobs shed locally

• The U.S. Bankruptcy Court reported 57,956 cases for the middle district of Florida in fiscal year 2009, a figure up 49.7% from 2008.

• As part of a company-wide streamlining effort, SunTrust Banks have eliminated more than 100 jobs in Central Florida alone. • SunTrust claims the job eliminations are largely the result of outsourcing company tasks to other countries. • The Central Florida area fared better than other locations in the downsizing effort. SunTrust has eliminated over 3,082 jobs or 11% of its entire workforce since June 2008. Source: Orlando Sentinel, October 14, 2009 Orange County resort tax falls 3% • Orange County collected resort taxes of $9.23 million in the month of September, down 3% from the same period last year. • For the year period ending on September 30th, Orange County has collected 15% less resort taxes than the previous year. • These figures are undoubtedly the result of a still-sluggish travel industry, as evidenced by September’s 1.5% decline in hotel occupancy from the previous year. Source: Orlando Business Journal, November 3, 2009 Disney posts 18% profit boost for quarter

• Central Florida’s bankruptcy numbers well exceeded the corresponding national increase of around 34%. • Bankruptcy filings in Florida’s middle district were second only to the central district of California, posting a distressing 97,481 cases for the fiscal year. Source: Orlando Business Journal, November 25, 2009 Trade trip to Panama holds promise of jobs, Mayor Rich Crotty says • Orlando Mayor Richard Crotty will be leading a delegation representing over 20 local businesses to Panama for a six-day trade trip. • While Crotty declined to specify what the aim of the trip might be, he mentioned the venture could spell “the potential for a major announcement” of new local jobs. • While supporters of publicly backed trade trips emphasize their importance in mending a wounded local economy, they continue to draw scrutiny as county budgets wane in the wake of the recession. Source: Orlando Sentinel, November 28, 2009

• An 18% boost in earnings for the fourth quarter surprised Disney executives and market spectators alike; a sign of a wounded economy beginning recovery. • The rise in revenue came in the midst of an executive overhaul brought on by five straight quarters of declining revenue. • However, for the full year, revenue fell by 4%, and net income saw a decline of 25%.

Shuttle workers fear job outlook • At least half of NASA’s shuttle workers are concerned with their job outlook after the scheduled fleet retirement next year. • The fleet is likely to lose around 20% of its workforce to other job offerings over the course of the remaining six missions; shuttle supervisors believe they will have a large enough crew to see those missions to safety. • Losing skilled and knowledgeable staff could raise the chance of a catastrophe occurring as NASA aspires to complete work on the International Space Station. Source: Florida Today, November 15, 2009 Research parks may bring jobs to Melbourne • Melbourne International Airport and Florida Tech are introducing a proposal for a research park to be entitled Florida Institute of Technology Research Science and Technology Park. • The park, said to encompass 10 buildings on 100 acres, promises to bring high-tech jobs and investment capital to the Melbourne area. • Proponents have expressed excitement for the project, seeing it as a win-win for the Melbourne community.

Brevard economic recovery fastest in state • Inexpensive housing and decent home sales have made Brevard County the highest ranking metro in the state of Florida according to Forbes magazine’s list of America’s Fastest-Recovering Cities. • The figure, however, did not stack up well on the national stage as Brevard ranked 80th out of the 100 largest metro areas in the country. • Experts attribute Brevard’s comparably favorable state ranking to their housing industry, claiming it has not been hit nearly as hard by the economic crisis as many other Florida metros. Source: Florida Today, December 3, 2009 Shopping, parks may come to West Viera • The Viera Company gave an hour long presentation to county commissioners on an 11,567 acre proposal expected to begin in 2014. • One project aimed at creating a full I-95 exchange at Viera Boulevard will require the company to finance roughly $41.7 million. • On December 15, county commissioners will vote on comprehensive plan amendments and begin to assess the regional impact of the project.

Big Bend gets $20M for Smart Grid • Tallahassee, Quincy, and Talquin Electric Cooperative have been awarded $20 million in federal stimulus money, as part of the $3.4 billion in federal grants designated to promote Smart Grid technologies. • Tallahassee’s $8.89 million will go to the city’s energy program that includes smart thermostats and advanced load control systems, targeting both residential and commercial customers. • Talquin will receive $8.1 million for a smart meter network system for 56,000 customers. Quincy will receive $2.4 million for a smart grid network that includes two-way communication and reduced pricing for utility bills. • The federal investment will create tens of thousands of jobs; the new technology will decrease energy bills and build the necessary infrastructure for new energy sources. Source: Tallahassee Democrat, October 28, 2009 Gadsden, HCA to negotiate hospital contract • Hospital Corporation of America, owner of Capital Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, will be in negotiations over an operations contract for Gadsden Community Hospital. • In 2005, the hospital was shut down due to operating deficiencies. It has been renovated this year with funds from a half-percent local sales tax enacted in August 2008. • Gadsden Hospital Inc., the board currently overseeing the facility, cannot operate it on an inactive state license. If HCA becomes the new operator, it can apply for a change in license status. Source: Tallahassee Democrat, November 7, 2009

Census Bureau has job openings to fill • The Census Bureau will have between 1,000 to 1,200 temporary positions available for citizens to take part in the census count in Leon and surrounding counties. Most jobs will start in February and end in July, with a starting salary of $12.25 an hour. • Though the census is providing jobs during a time when unemployment is high, funds to pay workers are not related to the $787-billion federal stimulus. • Census data is used to estimate federal funding of local programs. An accurate count assures fair distribution of resources. Source: Tallahassee Democrat, November 16, 2009 Tenure in the spotlight at Florida State University • FSU turned to layoffs and program eliminations in response to the $82 million reduction in state revenue since the 2007-08 school year. • The layoff notices were sent to over 50 professors and staff, including 21 tenured faculty members. More tenured faculty members are scheduled to be laid off at FSU than at all of the 10 other universities in the State University System combined. • United Faculty of Florida, representing college professors, is asking the university to cancel the layoffs, particularly those of tenured faculty.

I n d u s t r y L o cati o n Q u o tie n t

E x p l a n ati o n a n d I n te r p r etati 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 ati 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
