South Florida's economy needs regional approach
Unemployment in Miami-Dade County in May was 13.7 percent, the Labor Department reports. The Miami-Dade figures are worse than Broward and Palm Beach and drag the unemployment rates for the South Florida tri-county region down to 11.4 percent.

A coordinated effort with Broward and Palm Beach Counties to make this region more competitive in the global economy is urgently needed.

It's the Economy Stupid!
"The mess in the U.S. economy is not an ordinary one. So, figuring out what is to be done is not ordinary either.
The difficulties go far beyond the policy processes in which all interests agree that pain must be endured: by goring someone else’s ox.
Three other factors make matters worse: tattered frameworks; the long and short of it; and Goldberg’s rule."
