Florida's economic outlook shows promise |
As planners, we are trained to take the long-term outlook. Thus, while most of the country were understandably bemoaning the latest economic news, we were relieved that the state forecasters expect the economy to be back on track by June 2021. The Office of Economic and Demographic Research (EDR) recently published their biannual report analyzing consumption, personal income, and unemployment. The EDR expects most sectors to show improvement in the next few months.
