University of Central Florida economist Sean Snaith forecasts strong growth for the state economy for the next three years.
“After enduring a recession both longer and deeper than that of the national economy, Florida has surpassed the U.S. in both the pace of job creation and in the pace of overall economic growth,” Snaith writes in his latest Florida forecast. “If the story of this turnaround were made into a mediocre romantic comedy, it could well be entitled How Florida Got Her Groove Back … Florida’s economy does indeed have its groove back and we expect that it will continue dancing to this melody of prosperity through 2017.”
