Economic Data

While tourism and international trade have always been very important to the success of our local economy, the diversification of Miami-Dade’s economy has led to unprecedented growth and record-low unemployment rates for one of the United States’ largest metropolitan areas. Today, a variety of sectors are building on years of success and experiencing rapid expansion, including life sciences, information technology and telecommunications, professional services and many more. Companies in these industries are flourishing because of our area’s competitive business costs, favorable tax structure and abundance of skilled workers.
