We are. I have posted many examples of it.

And according to you it is the opposite.

I have yet to see any national reports of credibility calling out Orlando as a mecca for high-paying jobs anytime soon.
Of course it is, anything to wind up the Pessimistic Patty's...

It certainly doesn't appear to be paying off though when one looks at salary numbers, unless new additions like WaWa are considered considered a prize.

I love Florida, but calling the area "Tampa/Sarasota" is beyond absurd. The two areas are nothing alike and the job opportunities in Sarasota are few and far between, as well as the population being rife with wealthy retirees. I'm thinking it was supposed to be Tampa/St. Pete.

It's a combination of jobs, some well paying, some not. That has been covered before.
