Yes but be careful! They go by number of job openings. They could be all jobs working at Target, Wal-mart, McDonalds, etc. I know Cape Coral-Ft. Myers was ranked one of the best once. We are mainly an econmy based on the service industry which tends to be very low paying. I think the economy is pretty much the same in all of Florida. Most new job openings are due to a growing commercial sector and not a growing professional one.

Please don't get a slanted view of FTL. Yes, it is true that the Forbes article is misleading. However, there are other types of jobs here. You simply have to do your research.

We own a small tech company and yes, we are in the service business, but there are scores of other professions. Medical, technical, support, etc. Good luck to you.
