The Significance of Manufacturing Within Florida’s Economy
Florida’s robust and business-friendly infrastructure makes our state an ideal destination for manufacturing operations. It makes sense, then, why we have observed a growth in the manufacturing industry that is unparalleled by most other states. In fact, Florida’s economy added manufacturing jobs at a clip of plus 6% in 2020, compared to the United States as a whole losing 1.7% over the same period of time. Only one state – Texas – has created more manufacturing jobs over the past 5 years.
