While Florida is known for its theme parks and beaches, there is more to be said for the Sunshine State than a place for families to come together and have fun.
In 2016, Florida was ranked number two in the nation for business according to Chief Executive Magazine’s Best and Worst States for Business issue. It’s no surprise, seeing as Florida added more than 1 million private-sector jobs over the last five years and only continues to grow.
From real estate to health care to technology and tourism, Florida has plans for growth in all of these areas over the coming years, making it a place many new executives will call home.
