“Florida’s retired.”
Yea - retired, snow birds (income out of state) and tourists income out of state). Makes sense.
I think also there is a lot of income in Florida that is likely not counted/mapped in median salaries, because it’s in capital gains in real estate. All states have a certain level of real estate bought and/or sold for investment purposes, and I think Florida ranks high in that regard. I know quite a few Northeast snow birds with second or investment residences in Florida.
It says full-time, employed, retired does not play a part in this.
Florida is an agricultural/cattle state, wages are not high in those industries.
