A change can be good. A change can be bad. One thing a change cannot be however...is avoided. As they say, change is inevitable. For better or worse, the state of Florida is about to experience some change. For starters, we are about to get a new governor and a new state senator. Further, many regions throughout Florida will be electing, or in some cases, re-electing, local officials.

H i g h l i g ht s o f the Oct o be r F l o r i d a F o r eca s t 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 1 3 • Congratulations, Governor. To the victor goes the spoiled. • The labor market continues to be a disfiguring scar on Florida’s economy. Unemployment will remain stubbornly high and will not fall below 10% until the 4th quarter of 2012. • Payroll employment in Florida will slow to a trickle in the 1st quarter of 2011 before turning positive in the 2nd quarter. • Payroll job growth year-over-year is expected to average 0.3% in 2011, 2.4% in 2012, and 3.1% in 2013. It will be the 4th quarter of 2015 before payrolls recover to their pre-recession levels. • Unemployment rates could drift higher as the economy transitions into job growth mode in the latter half of 2010. 2011 should mark the beginning of a long, slow, and steady decline in unemployment. The emphasis is on slow - it may be 2018 before we see unemployment fall below 6% again. • The sectors forecasted to have the strongest growth during 2010-2013 are Professional and Business Services (3.9%); Trade, Transportation & Utilities (2.6%); Education and Health Services (2.3%); and Manufacturing (1.3%). • Florida’s housing construction sector bottomed out in 2009 after a four year plunge. Housing starts will climb even more slowly than was expected as of last quarter’s forecast. In 2013, housing starts will recover to their 1997 level, rising gradually to just 138,800 starts. • After two years of contracting, Real Gross State Product (GSP) will expand 2.3% in 2010, 1.6% in 2011, accelerate to 3.3% in 2012, and reach 3.6% in 2013. • Real personal income growth will begin to accelerate in 2010 to 2.9%. From 20112013, personal income growth will average 3.1%, and will peak at 3.9% in 2011. • Consumers should be willing to spend a little more this year during the holiday shopping season and retailers should be happier, but both are far from jolly. • After a wobbly start to 2010, retail sales should finish stronger for the year. Retail sales will accelerate in 2011 and 2012, and will grow at an average pace of 5.3% during 2011-2013.

Dear Governor: Congratulations on winning the election and surviving a political cycle that, like the business cycle that preceded it, was one for the record books. I am glad I voted for you. As the saying goes, “to the victor goes the spoiled.” That was not a typographical error, the economy in Florida has soured, and you have inherited a fiscal and economic calamity.

An Open Letter to the Next Governor of Florida

Private sector job creation remains anemic. The September estimate of the number of unemployed workers stood at 1.1 million corresponding to an unemployment rate of 11.9%. The unemployment rate could rise in the next couple of months, but the worst should be behind us by the time you take office. Private sector job growth is far too slow to quickly recoup the 800,000+ jobs slashed from Florida’s payrolls. I do not anticipate that payrolls will get back to their pre-recession peak until the 4th quarter of 2015. The unemployment rate will remain above 10% until the 4th quarter of 2012, and it will not fall below 6% until the middle of 2018. I guess the good news is that things should look pretty darn good by the end of your second term. The reality is that there is very little that you can do to change the short run path the Florida economy is currently travelling. The Federal Government, with its trillions of dollars of debt, has had a difficult time battling the recession and its aftermath. The fiscal constraints of near term budget shortfalls will limit options and zap energy from other initiatives. Speaking of the budget, a lot of people are angry at the size of the U.S. budget deficit and the mounting level of the national debt. They think that the Federal Government is too large and taxes are too high. They have a point, and I believe their discontent is warranted. Psychologists say that depression is anger turned inward, and we ought to be careful about refocusing this ire on Florida’s state government. An objective analysis of the tax burden and size of government in Florida reveals that Florida consistently ranks near the bottom of the 50 states in various measures of the size of government and tax burden. Budget gaps can be closed by raising revenue and/or cutting expenditures. A balanced mix of the two is preferable to using just one of these methods. I would argue that we do not need smaller government in Florida per se, we need smarter government. The new reality of slower population growth in Florida necessitates a more active involvement of state government to help spur development in other engines of economic growth. Job security is a remnant of a bygone era. No Floridian can expect to work for one company their entire career until retirement. The best Florida’s workers can aspire to have is employment security, continued employment with a number of companies over their careers. Employment security requires workers to be lifelong learners - honing, upgrading and expanding skill sets and improving productivity over the course of their working lives. We should facilitate this process. This facilitation could take a variety of forms. We need a Bright Futures program for everyone else. It need not be an outright scholarship program like Bright Futures but could be a loan program that the state could subsidize. We could give tax incentives to

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2010

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

employers who fund their employees’ ongoing education and training. Anything that incentivizes education and training will help Florida’s workers raise their productivity and income. Given your corporate background you know that a skilled workforce is a powerful attractant for businesses and will strengthen economic development efforts in the state. This will also require a direct investment in our K-12 schools, community colleges and universities - an investment we have thus far been reticent to make. This kind of government spending pays dividends over time. Another area where it would be beneficial to boost spending is in infrastructure. Transportation networks move people and goods and this is the basis of most economic activity and a critical underpinning of Florida’s economy now and in the future. I do not simply mean roads and bridges, but rail (high-speed, commuter and freight), ports, airports and the nexus of these transportation modes as well. Congestion on transportation routes represents lost economic opportunity. Tourists and snow birds sitting in traffic are not spending money in our restaurants or our retail outlets. The widening of the Panama Canal could be a boon for Florida’s ports if we are prepared to take advantage of the increasing flow of larger vessels that will carry their cargo through the widened canal. Making sure the ports are ready to handle these ships is just part of the preparation. The transportation interconnections must be ready as well so the cargo can be efficiently moved once the longshoremen have finished their job. Most of the things I have suggested here are longer term (on a political timer) by nature. They also happen to be the types of policies that will raise the potential output of Florida’s economy in the future, but not necessarily generate immediate returns. Speaking of the future, the demographic shock that hit Florida during this recession and financial crisis – a temporary stagnation of population growth – foreshadows a new era of slower population growth in Florida. It necessitates the cultivation of other engines of economic growth as the population growth-as-industry will no longer have the same thrust to push Florida’s economy forward. Some sectors in which we should strategically invest and formulate targeted policies to foster their growth include: the life sciences, private space industry, hi-tech and cleantech areas, to name a few. The short run harvest from these efforts will be scant, but they embody the potential to yield an economic bumper crop in the future. I better wrap this up before I cross over into manifesto territory. Governor, you are taking office at a difficult and critical time in Florida’s history. The challenges that we are facing are daunting. However, we have the opportunity to shape the path that future generations of Floridians will follow and ensure that the Florida that we give to our children and grandchildren is not less than or equal to, but greater than the Florida that was given to us. I wish you and your administration success in these endeavors. Sincerely, Sean M. Snaith Institute for Economic Competitiveness

Florida’s Housing Market:

The Foreclosure Moratorium Only Prolongs the Misery. The sins committed during Florida’s record housing boom must be punished. Unfortunately, it isn’t only the guilty who are serving the sentence. This penance is being endured not only by those who speculated, those who committed fraud and deception, but by all homeowners in the state who have seen the value of their homes plummet, and by all who are feeling the pain of an economy that collapsed in the wake of the housing bust. Plunging prices and rampant foreclosures are the consequences of actions taken during the housing boom. They cannot be avoided and must be incurred before we can reach the end of the crisis and return the housing sector to something resembling normalcy. Delaying the process doesn’t diminish or avert the pain, but only prolongs the misery. The freezing of foreclosures temporarily is like slowly removing a band aid - it hurts more and lasts longer than allowing the process to happen quickly by itself. The robo-signing issue that had many banks temporarily halting foreclosure proceedings gives false hope to homeowners facing foreclosure. Whatever problems exist in sifting through the ownership of a mortgage that may have been sold and resold multiple times don’t change the fact that the borrower Figure 1. Housing Sales FAR Data

is unable to meet the obligations of the financial contract. The homeowner may end up staying in the home a few months longer if foreclosure is delayed, but ultimately will lose the property. Despite this setback, the housing market continues to progress through a long and difficult recovery. Housing starts bottomed out in 2009 after a precipitous four year plunge. Starts will increase slightly in 2010 and 2011 and continue a mild acceleration into 2012-2013. This growth is welcomed, and will put an end to job losses in the Construction sector, which will see payrolls begin to expand in 2012. Mortgage rates continue to hover at historical lows, but unfortunately credit is still constrained. These low rates are not spurring activity in the housing sector. Refinancing to take advantage of these ultra-low mortgage rates is a near impossibility for those who have seen their home values plummet and now find themselves underwater in their mortgage. High and persistent unemployment, weak job growth, and slow population growth, combined with these tight credit conditions, ensure a prolonged recovery period in the housing sector. The fundamental weaknesses in the underpinnings of housing demand are delaying the absorption of an inventory that is swelled by foreclosure.

F l o r i d a Su m m a r y Association of Realtors (FAR), and cover the housing market through August 2010. Sales (Figure 1) continue to recover, and median prices (Figure 2) appear to be closing in on a bottom to their steep decline. How firm this bottom turns out to be remains yet to be seen. The still significant inventory, ongoing weakness in economic fundamentals and credit conditions, coupled with the ongoing foreclosure crisis will continue to test this bottom for several more months at least.

recovery is affirming that this outlook was correct. The recovery in Florida will also resemble the path followed by the national economy excepting that Florida’s recovery didn’t start until 6 months after the national recession ended. Growth will be muted in the first two years of recovery, as Florida’s real Gross State Product expands at an average rate of 2.0% during 2010-2011. Economic activity will begin to accelerate in 2012-2013, over which growth will average a healthier 3.6%.

The steep drop in prices has stimulated sales. The 12-month moving average of existing home sales (the smoother of the two lines plotted in Figure 1) has been increasing steadily since September of 2008. Sales surged as the extension of the first time homebuyers tax credit expired in June, and then dropped in July causing a temporary wavering in the moving average of sales.

Nominal Gross State Product is expected to reach nearly $848 billion in 2013, as Florida progresses toward becoming a trillion-dollar economy. We are now forecasting GSP to finally break the trilliondollar mark in 2017, one year later than in our last forecast.

Prices may be near the bottom, as the 12 month moving average of the median sales price has hovered around $140,000 for the past 8 months. As of August 2010, median price stands at $144,000. In January, that median price fell to $130,900, which may represent a low point in the cycle.

Outlook for Florida 2010-2013 Gross State Product Florida’s Recovery Plods Onward Real Gross State Product (GSP) in Florida, the state-level analogue to Real GDP, has returned to a growth pattern in 2010. Growth will be weak in 2010 as Florida’s economy faces many of the same struggles as the nation as a whole. The hurdles that Florida’s consumers have to overcome in some cases are substantially higher. These include depleted, and in many cases negative, home equity, excessively high unemployment rates and paltry job creation. Consequently, Florida’s consumers are lacking in confidence and are not spending at a pace consistent with a strong recovery. Our 2nd Quarter 2009 forecast of a “gravy boat” recovery for the U.S. economy – a gradual, tapered recovery, stood in contrast to those predicting a V-shaped recovery. The pace of the national

Personal Income, Retail Sales, and Auto Sales Personal income growth will not be as strong as we had previously forecast. The first half of the year will be weaker than the second half, and that second half momentum will carry into 2011, when year-overyear growth will be 2.7%. Personal income growth will accelerate slightly to 4.7% in 2012 and then to 5.6% in 2013. Personal income growth in Florida will outpace that of the rest of the nation in 2012 and 2013 as Florida’s economy resumes solid income growth. This reversal in fortune in Florida comes after a five year period in which the state saw personal income growth below the nation as a whole. In 2013, the level of personal income in Florida is expected to be in excess of $811 billion. Real disposable income growth, which has been depressed by the floundering economy, will increase to only 0.5% in 2007 and then contract for the next two years. It will finally show some growth in 2010, expanding at 3.0%. This burst of stronger growth will be short-lived, as tax hikes at the federal, state, and local levels will begin to chip away at disposable incomes in the state. During 2011-2013 real disposable income will increase by an average rate of 2.1% each year. That compares to the average rate of growth during the seven year period from 2001-2007, when the average rate of growth for real disposable income stood at 4.1%. Consumers in Florida have been beleaguered, much more so than their counterparts around the country, by disappearing home equity and an evaporation of Institute for Economic Competitiveness

stock market wealth. Housing wealth, which helped fuel home equity loan charged spending in Florida, has now become a drag on consumer spending. Under water, many homeowners now find their homes to be a ball and chain rather than the wind beneath their wings. The stock market made a strong recovery from the harrowing depths to which it plunged at the height of the financial crisis. However, despite the recovery, it is still well below the pre-crisis levels. Stock prices seem to be treading water at this point, as more evidence of a national economic recovery that is decelerating comes to the foreground. The housing market in Florida has had no such luck, and while housing prices may be near their bottom, the home equity that has been lost could take decades to recover. Double digit unemployment will also continue to weigh on consumer spending. As the labor market stabilizes and private sector job creation builds momentum it will help lift consumer confidence. Pent-up demand and a clearer sense that their jobs are now safe will help to unlock some of the consumer spending that job insecurity hindered. Retail sales in Florida will grow in 2010 and 2011. Once the labor market has fully stabilized and begins its long path to recovery retail spending will begin to accelerate. We expect retail sales to expand an average of 4.5% in 2010 and 2011. The average growth rate will be nearly 5.6% over the final two years of our forecast. Retail sales will not reach the home equity fueled growth rates experienced during the housing boom, but should help to alleviate the budget crisis in Tallahassee in 2012 and 2013. This year’s holiday shopping season may, for the first time in several years, be more than just a lump of coal to retailers. They will not, however, get everything on their wish list and will still have to work hard to get weary consumers in Florida to open up their wallets. Expect sales and discounts to continue to abound once again this season. The recession, financial crisis, credit crunch, volatile energy prices, and a collapsing domestic automotive industry did conspire to bring average new passenger car and truck registrations down overall in 2009 for a fourth straight year. Registrations will begin to climb after dipping for a few quarters in the wake of the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Pent-up demand and an improving economy will continue to bolster 10

Florida & Metro Forecast - October 2010

registrations through the end of 2013. In that year registrations should recover to levels on par with those experienced during the 2000-2002 period.

Employment Overall payroll employment growth in the state is expected to shrink by -0.9% for 2010 versus 2009. This comes after contracting at a -6.2% rate in 2009 compared to 2008. Payroll job losses in Florida will persist through 2010 and into 2011 before starting to finally expand. While payroll growth will finally take root in 2011, it will only gain momentum in 2012, when job growth versus a year ago is expected to come in at 2.4%. Going forward, we have pushed growth further to the outer years of our forecast, in part due to the impact of the Gulf oil spill but also due to the persistent job losses and underwhelming job creation. Payroll job growth will reach 3.1% in 2013. Despite this acceleration of job growth, we believe it will now be the 4th quarter of 2015 before payroll employment levels return to their pre-recession peak. The Construction sector, which has been in near free fall after peaking during the housing boom, will continue to show the painful effects of a pitiful housing market, the credit freeze, and an ongoing crisis in the commercial construction market. Any job creation from the shovel-ready projects that will be funded by the federal economic stimulus plan will be overwhelmed by job losses elsewhere in the sector. As previously discussed, the bottom of the residential real estate market will give way to tepid growth in housing starts, and will not be enough to have a major impact on employment in Construction. Despite the economic stimulus bill, this sector will continue to be one of the worst-performing private sectors in the state’s economy through 2013, as far as job growth is concerned. Job growth will not return to the Construction sector until the 2nd quarter of 2012. Growth rates are expected to surge from 2.4% in 2012 to 8.7% in 2013. These growth rates while large are now being added to a dramatically lower base of employment in the sector. By the end of 2013, employment in this sector should be back at levels previously reached in the early 1990’s. Now that Florida’s economy has exited the recession, the Professional and Business Services

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

sector will once again show robust growth in Florida. Job gains will be modest until mid-2011 and reach 2.2% in 2011, 5.7% in 2012, and 7.7% in 2013. This sector will recover far more quickly than others, and will get back to pre-recession levels of employment by the middle of 2013. The Information sector will continue to shed jobs through most of 2010 before employment stabilizes and expands slightly in 2011. Newspapers continue to adapt to the structural changes transforming the industry. Advertising revenues have stabilized after falling precipitously. Several major newspapers and publishing groups have teetered on the edge or have entered into bankruptcy. Meager job growth will return in 2011 as this will be the first year of job growth in this sector after eight of the nine prior years featured job losses year over year, including five straight years of net job losses leading up to 2011. Job growth will jump to 1.7% in 2011 as the recovery kicks into gear, and average 2.9% 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. During 2010-2013, employment in this sector is expected to expand at an average rate of 2.3%. The average growth rate for overall payroll employment during the same time frame is expected to be 1.2%. It is still difficult to tell precisely how politics will impact healthcare in Florida, but clearly, with momentum toward expanding coverage and an older population, it appears that demand for health services will remain strong in the foreseeable future. This rising demand should continue to drive job growth in this sector. The possibility of Medicare cuts, however unlikely, does raise an issue of concern that could materially impact this sector’s future in Florida. Manufacturing will continue to contract in Florida through 2010. Globalization and productivity gains in manufacturing have combined to severely reduce employment in this sector. The sector is emerging from this lengthy and challenging period and is now as competitive as it has been in many years prior. This and a weakening dollar will help drive job growth as exports continue to rise.

We are expecting to see job growth of 2.1% in this sector for the full year in 2011, followed by an even stronger year of job growth in 2012, when manufacturing employment will expand at a rate of 3.4%. For the first time in decades, manufacturing is expected to gain jobs in three consecutive years, as 2013 job growth is expected to be 3.2%.

U n e m p loy m e nt Unemployment rates in Florida remain at painfully high levels, despite the fact that the recession came to an end in the state. Real Gross State Product is growing as of the 1st quarter but the unemployment rate is not expected to begin its descent until the 1st quarter of 2011. The labor market tends to lag the economy overall, but the weak nature of the recovery and the aftermath of the housing bust are both working to delay and diminish the labor market recovery. Unemployment will drift up in the 4th quarter of this year and remain above 10% until the 4th quarter of 2012. In 2011, unemployment will begin a slow decline through the end of 2013. By the end of 2013, unemployment will still be uncomfortably high at 8.7%. Compared to the amazingly low levels of unemployment during the boom, these levels are still quite high. In fact, we do not expect to see unemployment in Florida fall below 6.0% again until 2018. The problem of underemployment and marginally attached workers– 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, is substantial and will be a factor behind the persistently high unemployment rate. When adding these workers to the top level unemployment figure, this broader measure of unemployment, known as U6, paints an even grimmer picture of labor markets, and is over 19.2% through the 2nd quarter of 2010 in Florida, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is higher than the previous BLS estimate of 19.0% that covered the 1st quarter of 2010. It’s not as if we needed further confirmation that Florida’s labor market is in the depths of despair, but this statistic chisels it in stone. Institute for Economic Competitiveness

• The trade group has asked BP for $500 million to fund an “emergency” marketing campaign. It hopes to gain the support of the federal government by arguing that this lofty investment will generate $7.5 billion for the tourism industry. Additionally, USTA asked for tax incentives and more accessible business loans.

• An energy rebate program, which offered $31.5 million in federal stimulus money, may be lost if the Legislature does not act before the end of the month.

• Officials from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer declared that the money cannot be legally spent without the approval from the full Florida House and Senate. Source: Ocala Star Banner, September 16, 2010

Volusia School Board OKs free breakfast

Victoria Park looks to get large shopping center

• All Volusia County students will be allowed free breakfast. Eighty percent of the student population qualifies as part of low-income families.

• Kotter Land Partners is working with developer Michael Collard Properties of Winter Park to build a new shopping center in southeast DeLand.

• School-Way director Joan Young estimates the breakfast plan will end up costing $124,000 if every child chooses to eat on campus.

• The anchor of the new shopping center is a 45,600 square foot grocery store. Surrounding this area there are 18,550 additional square feet, equivalent to about ten additional stores. Two one-mile tracts of land on the outer portions are planned to include restaurants and banks.

• The Legislature encouraged Florida schools to adopt the free breakfast policy to eliminate the stigma associated with the program being for low-income students. Source: Daytona Beach News Journal, July 29, 2010 Volusia plans even more artificial reefs • Volusia county plans to double its artificial reef site to help the fishing industry. • The county has already finished 6 sites, each valued at $22,500. If the cost of each site remains constant, the county can afford 80 more sites. • A potential fishing ban in hopes of limiting bottom fishing to save incidental red snapper deaths could close off 4,827 square miles. This ban would severely inhibit fishermen. Twelve of the thirteen proposed reefs would be outside of the potential banned zone. Source: The Daytona Beach News-Journal, August 19, 2010

Winter Haven Is Moving Ahead With Capital Projects Costing $24.5 Million • Capital improvements projects totaling $24.5 million are planned for the 2010-2011 fiscal year in the city of Winter Haven. • According to city officials, only those projects with a funding source, such as grants, impact fees or previously issued bonds, will become a reality due to a tight budget. • Larger projects include a $3.2 million downtown parking garage; a water, wastewater and reuse main costing $2.1 million; and a Chain of Lakes Trail Avenue bridge. Source: Lakeland Ledger, August 4, 2010 Lakeland Housing Agency Buying Up Bargain Houses • The housing agency plans to pay between $120,000 and $140,000 to acquire 12 homes in the area next to Lakeland square mall that have been valued from $150,000 to $200,000 in the past. • The agency would give the houses a makeover and to sell them to people earning less than 80 percent of the area’s median annual income. • Since some of the money for this initiative will come from the HOPE VI program, low-income housing advocates argue that this option does not address the need for housing for the poorest families since they are not likely to qualify for these homes.

Proposed County Budget Comes in At $1.3 Bil. • At $1.3 billion, the tentative budget for next year represents a drop from this year’s $1.6 billion budget. • The tentative budget includes no change in the property tax rate and fire fees, and a drop in garbage fees. • Cost-cutting measures such as layoffs, consolidation of county operations and cuts to some social welfare programs account for the decrease in the budget. Source: Lakeland Ledger, September 9, 2010 Polk City Opts Not to Refinance Debt • The City Council voted against a plan to refinance the city’s $10 million debt and against the initiative to develop a plan for $10 million in new debt in the next decade. • The former Public Works Director for the city had listed $10 million in public works projects for the next ten years but only two of those have been deemed necessary by the new interim Public Works Director. • The city’s debt includes $530,000 in unpaid impact fees and a $1 million loan for property purchased in 2008, when the city took over the water and sewer systems from the county.

It is 22% larger than this year’s budget. • The port does not collect taxes.

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 Institute for Economic Competitiveness
