One of the fastest growing states in the nation, Florida's population increased more than 34 percent between 1973 and 1983. New markets develop in response to this growth process, and the state is attracting a.broad array of indus- tries and industrial support services. As people and companies recognize this, the lure of the state intensifies. This book presents a statistical comparison, across the fifty states, of those factors whichgenerally control the location of industrial investments, with particular emphasis on Florida. Statistics on taxes, economic activity, labor laws, wage structure, state indebtedness, and attitude of the work force are provided for each state and displayed in rank order from most favorable for economic development to least favorable. Among its many locational advantages is Florida's "Right-to-Work" law which, unlike the statutes adopted and amended by the majority of states, is a constitutional pro---@ vision. This law, listed under the Declaration of Rights in the constitution of the State of Florida, reads as follows: The right of persons to work shall not be denied or abridqed on account of member- ship or nonmembership in any labor union or labor organization... Equally important to potential Florida firms is Florida's constitutional provision prohibiting state government deficit spending. This law prevents the state from placing unreason- able tax responsibilities upon any citizen or corporation as a result of overspending the established state budget. These legislative provisions exhibit Florida's willingness to welcome new capital investments and industrial growth. For further information on Florida's profit potential for corporate headquarters, regional offices, or plant facilities, contact the Florida Department of Commerce, Division of Economic Development, Collins Building, Tallahassee, phone 904/488-6300. Florida and the other Ebrty-nine Division of Economic Develop-nent GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS I TABLE 1 POPULATION GROWIH TRENDS, 1973 to 1983 A state's population size and growth provide indicators of existing and potential markets. Areas which have experienced rapid population growth are prime locations for industrial, retail, service, and trade development. Florida is now the seventh largest state in the nation. It is also the fastest growing of the ten largest statesland ranks sixth overall in the pace of population growth.

One measure which is indicative of this environment is the unemployment compensation benefits paid per covered worker. Lower benefit levels generally are associated with fewer unemployed workers and more restrictive benefits, creating more incentive to remain employed. Florida ranked second-lowest in the nation in 1983 for unemployment benefits paid per covered worker.

In states where the proportion is highest, management is thrust into sporadic conflicts with labor. States with the lowest proportion of union workers offer management greater freedom and create an atmosphere favorable to the investment of new capital. The Southeast in general has low levels of labor union membership and Florida ranks fourth lowest in the nation.

In Florida taxes are low, expenditures limited, and combined state and local debt generally small. This reflects long-standing fiscal conservatism and limited expectations of what government can and ought to do. This philosophy is apparent in Florida's rank as the lowest state in the nation in government revenue per $1,000 of personal income and the third lowest in government expenditures per $1,000 of personal income.

This is particularly true of colder climates where snow and freezing temperatures are common. Florida's warm and sunny climate facilitates labor recruitment and eliminates many extra costs incurred by a firm to combat harsh winter weather.
