If Florida were an independent country, it would rank as the world's 15th largest economy.  The gross state product reached $594 billion last year and real estate activity accounted for 44% of that total — a stagering $263 billion.

 

Real property — building it, buying it — directly provides jobs for 769,000 Floridians.  That impact outpaces the contributions of other Florida industries, including tourism, which contributed an estimated $62 billion to the state's economy in 2005.

What will be the official Florida state pie?

Florida lawmakers had been debating which should be declared Florida's official state pie: key lime pie, pecan pie or strawberry pie.  Key lime pie seemed to be the strongest contender when Florida residents were asked for their opinion, believing that key lime better represents the state due to the fact that Florida is so well known for its citrus.  The measure (SB 676) now goes to the House of Representatives.
