Why Job Seekers Choose Florida
Desirable tax credits and incentives, such as zero state income tax, are not the only reason the state of Florida is so attractive to skilled talent. A warm, sunny climate, leading education system, affordable cost of living and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation draw talent from around the country and world to the state. Florida’s workforce development and training services across diverse industries, from aerospace to healthcare, also make Florida an ideal place to start your job search, level up your career or just put down roots.
