Nearly
90% of Florida's gross economic output is generated in the service
sector. Florida's more than 122,000 Financial and Professional Services
companies employ some 837,000 workers at locations around the state, and
the industry's designation as a "high impact" sector, further signifies
its importance to the Florida economy.
Global Industry Reach: The state's diversified economic structure has
enabled it to be a global player in the provision of high value-added
services, such as Financial Services (banking, insurance) and
Professional Services (engineering, legal, accounting, consulting). The
global competitiveness of Florida's high value-added service providers
is reflected in the fact that Florida services exports to other
countries are valued at over $30 billion a year.
