florida jobs projections by industry

These numbers may have to be amended depending on the depth of the economic downturn, but they still show in what sector jobs are most likely to grow once the economy rebounds to a sense of normalcy. And the growth will continue to be in the service sector, finance, construction and certain types of retail, particularly home furnishings stores.

GDP by Metropolitan Area (millions of current dollars)

From 2001 to 2006, the gross domestic product by Gulf Coast metropolitan area reflects where the housing markets were the hottest. Cape Coral-Fort Myers clocked the

top growth speeds, but we also now know they became the most overbuilt. Tampa-St. Pete-Clearwater showed the slowest GDP growth, followed by Sarasota-Bradenton, and those two metro areas had much more restrained construction growth.

The drama of the housing market collapse is clearly demonstrated in these numbers as the sharp decline from 2005 to 2007 is clear across the board. Lee County's collapse is the most stunning, falling from 29,330 permits issued in 2005 to 5,905 in 2007, an 80% drop-off, re-defining the boom-and-bust cycle.

banking

The financial sector is one of the Gulf Coast's strengths, as can be seen in the growth of offices and deposits over the years. The growth rates, until the economic downturn that began in 2007, outpace the population growth along the coast.

Employment

The growth in the number of people working in Gulf Coast counties during the past six years is surprisingly diverse. It ranges from high growths such as the counties of Pasco (33.5%) and Lee (28.1%) to negative growth such as Pinellas County (-3.3%) In part, this is a difference between high growth counties and a built-out county.

INCOME

Income continues to grow on the Gulf Coast even as the economic correction began to take hold in 2007. Pinellas County had the lowest six-year income increase while Collier County had the highest, followed by a tie between Sarasota and Manatee counties. Hillsborough maintained it's place as the highest average wage county.

unEmployment

Not surprisingly, unemployment has ticked up with the economic downturn. The bigger the housing bubble and bust the higher the unemployment rate, see Cape-Corals-Fort Myers. While state unemployment is below the 1990 recession levels, it is higher than those same 1990 levels for the Gulf Coast.
