While Florida took an economic and physical beating from Hurricane Ian in September 2022, its economy remains strong. Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t shy about promoting Florida’s economic success, noting in May 2022 that private sector employment growth was double that of the national average. Additionally, the state closed out the fiscal year with a record $20 billion in state reserves. Financial and tech companies are flocking to cities like Tampa and Orlando, while the Space Coast continues to attract leading aero- space companies. The military and defense industry also continues to thrive in the state, generating more than $96.6 billion, or 8.5% of the state economy, according to the 2022 Florida Defense Industry Economic Impact Analysis.
