Abstract
Florida is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, both because it shares in the national increase in birth rate, and because there is a constant average of 3,500 people per week migrating to Florida to make it their permanent home. These are not all oldsters and retirees, for 27 per cent. are children of elementary-and secondary-school age. This means that their parents are in the ‘young-middle-age’category. They are in the work force. They need jobs in Florida if they are to live here. They would not find these jobs if new industries were not developing in Florida, and other industries moving to Florida.
