Industry Diversification Project Third Quarter 2024 Report
The RERI has published the Industry Diversification Report for the third quarter of 2024. 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:
- The seasonally-adjusted IDI in Southwest Florida increased to 5.213 in the first quarter of 2024, ranking 7th out of all 24 workforce regions.
- The Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island MSA was the second most industrially diversified MSA in the state (out of 22 total MSAs). Moreover, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers MSA and Punta Gorda MSA ranked 11th and 19th in the state, respectively.
- Industry diversification for the state of Florida rose to 5.229 for the first quarter of 2024, ranking it 22nd out of 50 states.
