My uncle owned a chain of banks in Florida circa 1960-80 and I don’t recall him hiring many New Yorkers unless they had already relocated to Florida.
Hey naive contrarian, 1960-1980 is ancient history as regards the economics and politics of this state. Since the early 90’s dozens of companies have pulled a reverse bait/switch on Florida’s bureaucracy, reeling in tax breaks, then stating they had “no idea” how many of their employees were willing to follow “their jobs” down here, so sorry, nothing they could do. Result? Maybe 25 jobs left to fill with Florida residents. And a bonanza for the real estate agents.
