And they are still callously waiting for an economic cycle to work its way through, particularly in regard to foreclosures. That antiquated thinking is destroying older workers – and Florida’s middle class as a whole. Let’s face it. Except for the wealthy, economic conditions in Florida are terrible. And despite what Gov. Rick Scott and our leg- islative leaders would have you believe, if creative initiatives are not undertaken soon, things will not get better for many years, if not decades. In an economy forever based on tourism, real estate and con- struction, there continues to be no meaningful job creation. Even then, the jobs available in these sectors pay crappy wages. And for those lucky enough to be working, the state’s right-to-work laws make for poor working conditions. The biggest problem is that too many homeowners are underwa- ter on their mortgages and lost their life savings when their home equity – and stock fluctuations in their 401ks – were wiped out by Wall Street shenanigans. With rising food and energy prices, and higher property taxes and insurance premiums, it’s become very expensive to live in the Sunshine State for workers and the retired alike. Yet the insur- ance market remains so messed up that Florida is one Category 5 hurricane away from insolvency. Too many baby boomers and senior citizens are living on the edge, and if the drastic increase in Florida food-stamp recipients is any indication, it’s plain difficult for Florida’s middle class to stay out of poverty. Florida benefited greatly from a migration of seniors and corpo- rations seeking lower taxes and a better quality of life. Over the last three decades, a third of New York residents leaving the state have moved to Florida. If the AARP poll is any indication, that migration will end. Per- haps there will be a reverse migration back to a region where, de- spite high taxes, people can make a living wage and older workers can again think about retiring.
