Industry Diversification Project Second Quarter 2021 Report
The RERI has published the Industry Diversification Report for the second 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 decreased to 5.246 in the fourth quarter of 2020, ranking 13th out of all 24 workforce regions.
- The Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island MSA was the third most diversified MSA in the state. The average annual IDI for all three Southwest Florida MSAs continued to improve in 2020.
- Industry diversification for the state of Florida decreased to 5.188 for the fourth quarter of 2020, ranking it 20th out of 50 states.
