Florida

摘要

Florida is an economic super-state. Its economy-the nation's fourth-largest-is bigger than the economies of Switzerland, Saudi Arabia and Argentina. The state's global connectivity, experienced workforce and attractive tax structure help it attract and retain financial and professional services companies. At last count, Florida had 141 commercial banks with $140 billion in assets under management, according to the FDIC. The state also has a growing private equity cluster and more than 4,000 insurance-related firms, including 2,104 foreign and 445 domestic insurers, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
