2 What did 2013 offer us (the U.S.)? An economy that is still growing.. Recession technically over June 2009 16 out of 17 quarters with positive real GDP growth since Q3 2009 Unemployment at lowest point in 5 years (7%) Retail sales growth relatively solid Growth in industrial production and capacity utilization Interest rates still low, and we have avoided inflation 29.2% growth in S&P 500
3
3 What else did it bring? Not all the news was great.. We created 1.08 million jobs in 2013 Fewest net jobs created since 2010 Increasing Federal debt and expansive monetary policy continue to spark fears of inflation International debt crisis still threatens monetary and economic stability Marginal growth in housing starts

28 What’s in Store for Florida? More job growth, lower unemployment But the growth will be modest Florida’s economic picture today looks a lot like the early 1990’s Are we ever going to see a full recovery of the housing sector? Depends on how you define “full recovery” If you use 2000’s criteria, no All areas are moving forward again SE Florida will create the most jobs (most diverse economy)
