How's the economy in Florida?
Florida's economy was one of the hardest-hit during the 2008-2009 recession and it has experienced a slow recovery. According to recent data, Florida has shown some signs of improving, finishing the "2012 calendar year with 3.2% growth over 2011, putting the state only slightly below the national growth rate of 3.5%" (Florida: An economic overview, 2013, Florida Legislature: 4). However, the overall job outlook for Floridians looks rather bleak: 521,000 jobs were lost since the economy's last peak of growth yet its population of young workers during their prime years of working life is increasing rather than decreasing. It is estimated that "it would take the creation of about 900,000 jobs for the same percentage of the total population to be working as was the case at the peak" (Florida: An economic overview, 2013, Florida Legislature: 7). Florida's wages have always lagged behind the national average and that trend has sadly continued. During the 2012 economic year it further declined to 87.7% of the U.S. national average (Florida: An economic overview, 2013, Florida Legislature: 9).
One problem is that the Florida economy remains extremely undiversified: "Tourism is both Florida's greatest...
Tourism is very susceptible to weaknesses in the national or international economies" (Chamber report shows Florida economy needs improvement, 2013, Daytona Beach News Journal). During the recession, many people cut back on tourism, which further resulted in a contraction of the Florida economy. However, not all signs are gloomy: one positive development is that sales of existing homes are going up -- however, that may merely be because the overall price of Florida homes is declining, indicating that long-term sellers are now desperate (Florida: An economic overview, 2013, Florida Legislature:14). Still, the number of homes classified as 'underwater' in Florida has declined from 50% to 20%, a significant drop from the height of the recession (Florida: An economic overview, 2013, Florida Legislature: 20-23). But even if the housing market recovers, that does not 'solve' the Florida jobs problem. And if Florida cannot generate new jobs, that will also affect state revenue and demand for all goods and services (as well as houses) in the long run.

Man as a Manifesto of Rationalism The English Restoration of 1660 delineates a dramatic transition in British literature from writing that is elegant, expressive, and often sentimental to prose and poetry that embraces simple, lucid, classical forms (Evans 203). Additionally, the years after the Restoration saw writers continuing to investigate new regions of the scientific, the philosophical, the political, and the moral. Antecedents of this trend include seventeenth century writers
