South Florida Leads the Way in Technology

As further proof of the explosive growth and endless appeal of South Florida, an article on technology has just reported that the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area is Florida's largest technology hub, with 75,300 technology industry workers in 2005.

The Florida Cybercities 2007 report showed that the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, which includes Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, had a high-tech payroll of $4.6 billion in 2005, the highest in the state, and high-tech firms employed 38 of every 1,000 private sector workers that year, the latest for which data was available.

Now, in addition to its position as a cultural, travel and financial center, South Florida can boast a new place as Florida’s largest technology hub.
