Florida

I'm assuming that you're referring to the coast which is only a small part of the very large state of Florida. Florida's main industry is tourism so naturally you will see a lot of people spending money here...that is what people on vacation do and that is what we want them to do. Florida is also a popular state to retire to and, as such, we have a large senior citizen population who have incomes of their own. The packed restaurants obviously already have staff, most of the retail outlets both on the coast and inland also have enough employees which is why they're not hiring more.

I don't know, but I suspect many of those people are on welfare and some of them are retired. Some people on welfare will buy cars under someone else's name so the government doesn't know.

there is a disease in north america right now and it is called over use of the credit card. it is no wonder that people are deeply in debt and credit card companies are millionaires!
