You guys are the ONLY people I've ever heard Florida being similar to NY when it comes to importance. MAYBE Illinois, but Florida? I just fell off the cough laughing....lmao.

The comparison to NY is a valid one not because of weather or city layouts, but because of the fact that most NY'ers vacation here, many NY'ers have relocated here (like myself and several family members), and many who still live up there have vacation homes down here. If you look at GDP, they are not that far off. One is growing and one is declining

It's been proven that just as many people are moving down, along with those leaving Florida. My mom has the links, I don't have the time to go find them. She'll post it tomorrow.
I think that Florida will surpass NY in the next 15 yrs as the 3rd most important state. The welfare and tax haven is doing no favors for NY state. Just ask 90% of the upstaters.
Most of NY state never recovered unfortunately from the loss of manufacturing. The state is very unfriendly for business because of the high regulation and high taxes and despite this high regulation there is still alot of pollution.
Florida, while having its problems with the housing crisis, is still growing and desirable for most people to live. There is alot of wealth all along the coasts there and due to its low taxes businesses will tend to locate there. I can't wait till Trump makes a full time residence in Florida as well as others like Golisano so that they can keep their money instead of giving it to the leach like corrupt govt in NY.
Once NY straightens out its social governmental and economic problems, it could thrive as a state again
There is really no other state that can challenge for #3 any time soon. Maybe Georgia or N Carolina?
Until then NY and Florida will be battling for a hold on #3
Oh, Yes that make sense. OK, about business still doesn't seem that way since some of the biggest companies are in NY. Also to mention your excluding the most important city in the US which is located in the State.

take a look at list... it's all about New York City.
the state itself has some of the crappiest cities in the country...
to name one: Buffalo! I'm trying to figure out where everyone was hiding on a thursday afternoon?

Well yeah, NYC can take on the whole state of Florida if it had to. Upstate adds agriculture to the state. The cities, not as much, but they're still bigger cities than most in Florida.
Ok, and you've worked in any field in technology in FL and NY?
That computer language my mom is talking about is what was used in NY in from the 1960s until about the 1980s. My dad couldn't find a job after 9/11 when he got laid off. Job after job in NY told him they don't use the old computer language he knows. It was until a job in Florida contacted him and said that they still use that old language. His job also sends him to the northeast often to conferences so he can learn the latest technology.
Enough proof for you?
Is this job in Naples? Naples dosen't represent the WHOLE state.
Yeah, not many in metro NY because it's no longer used very much! 3/24 is nothing...
24 listings would be less than 1 for every 2 states and NY had 3. I would say that 3 would be a significant number

Please explain how my being an agent would keep me from knowing what technology companies are headquartered in my area.
