Economic upturn rumors surface in Florida despite stagnation
Florida’s economic index stood at 119.3 in May with little year over year change while locals report rising spending. August sales rose 15 to 20 percent as shoppers spend on tires and services. Bankruptcies and unemployment concerns persist, but builders and tradesmen note renewed activity with June permits and cautious optimism about a bottoming recession.
