Industry Diversification Project Fourth Quarter 2021 Report
The RERI has published the Industry Diversification Report for the fourth quarter of 2021. The goal of the IDI is to measure industry diversification and, by extension, that of the workforce, in each of Florida’s 24 workforce regions, the state of Florida, and the remaining 49 states. The index measure is computed quarterly, soon after the release of workforce data from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. It spans from 0 to 10, with 0 signifying no diversification (or an economy characterized by a single industry), and 10 signifying perfect diversification (no concentration).
Latest findings from the Industry Diversification Project include:
- Industry diversification in Southwest Florida increased to 5.336 in the second quarter of 2021, ranking 8th out of all 24 workforce regions.
- The Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island MSA was the 3rd most diversified MSA in the state (out of 22 total MSAs). Moreover, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers MSA and Punta Gorda MSA ranked 11th and 21st in the state, respectively.
- Industry diversification for the state of Florida increased to 5.214 for the second quarter of 2021, ranking it 21st out of 50 states.
