Here's how it breaks down:
"By the end of the decade, the aggregate loss of economic activity would far exceed $100 billion. Moving to a state-only Medicaid- like program would cost Florida an estimated 135,000 jobs and $5.6 billion in wages next year as well."-- FCFEP
"With Florida’s 10.6% unemployment rate well above the 9.5% national average, SunRail will provide 113,065 construction jobs associated with Transit Oriented Development resulting in $4.6 billion in earnings for the construction sector."-- City of Orlando, discussing a commuter rail project that Scott put on hold to score cheap political points.
"Gov. Rick Scott's proposed budget lays off 1,849 Department of Children and Families employees and slices $278 million out of the agency that oversees homelessness and health care; substance abuse, domestic violence and mental health."-- St. Petersburg Times
Additional Job Losses Caused by Pink Slip Rick...
