Orlando is leading the nation as the hottest job market in the nation. While other cities are really hurting, Orlando leads the list according to Business 2.0. View the article here:
Orlando is Number One
What the nation is realizing is what we already know, Orlando is growing! It is more than just adding hospitality jobs. We are adding healthcare, digital media, life sciences and technology companies. These are high paying jobs that require education and training.
They are predicting that the high paying job sector in Central Florida will balloon to a 15% increase. This is good news for everyone.
This is also why we need to continue our push to become a world class city so we can not only attract great companies but also top talent! This includes Orlando supporting Project Hometown, the drive for world class facilities. (Performing Arts Center, Citrus Bowl and Event Center)
I get excited just think about how lucky we are to be in Orlando in 2007. It is kind of like owning a stock at $10.00 and knowing that it will worth $500.00 in the not so distant future. Orlando is a SURE BET and the nation is taking note!
