March 213 taxable sales for the region were eight percent higher than March 212. Passenger traffic at Southwest Florida International Airport in April 213 was up three percent from April 212. Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties issued a total of 365 single-family home permits in May, 19 percent more than May 212. May 213 sales of Lee, Collier, and Charlotte existing single-family homes increased by eight percent over May 212, while median single-family home prices were up by 17 to 27 percent over the same period. The Florida Consumer Confidence Index for May 213 reflects these changes, rising to 81, an increase of three points from the May 212 figure, and the highest since August 27. National housing prices increased 12.1 percent for the 2-city composite S & P Case-Shiller Home price index in the 12 months ending in April 213. The region s seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate continued to show improvement over the prior year, declining from 9.3 percent in May 212 to 7.4 percent in April 213. County details can be found beginning on page 16. For the U.S., the real GDP growth was revised downward to 1.8 percent for the first quarter of 213 compared to only.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 212. Real personal consumption expenditures for the first quarter were more positive, growing at 2.6 percent compared to 1.8 percent in the fourth quarter. The national unemployment rate edged up to 7.6 percent in May 213 from 7.5 percent in April 213. This constituted a drop of.6 percentage points from May 212. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or longer) is 4.4 million or 39.3 percent of all unemployed. The May Bureau of Labor Statistics Establishment Survey showed that national nonfarm payroll employment increased by 175,, an increase over April s 149,. The May employment increases included 57, in professional and business services, 43, in leisure and hospitality, 28, in retail trade, 26, in education and health services, 13, in other services, 8, in wholesale trade, 7, in construction, and 4, in financial activities. In contrast, manufacturing declined by 8,, transportation and warehousing declined by 4,, and government employment declined by 3,. The national consumer price index increased by 1.4 percent from May 212 to May 213, compared with 1.1 percent increase from April 212 to April 213. Medical care services increased 2.9 percent but energy prices declined by 1. percent. Core inflation (all items less food and energy) increased by 1.7 percent. 3
4 The latest statement of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) was issued on June 19 th, and is summarized below: Economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace; Labor market conditions have shown further improvement in recent months, but the unemployment rate remains elevated; Household spending and business fixed investment advanced, and the housing sector has strengthened further, but fiscal policy is restraining economic growth; Inflation has been running below the Committee s longer-run objective, but longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable; The Committee sees the downside risks to the economic outlook and the labor market as having diminished since the fall, and anticipates that inflation over the medium term likely will run at or below its 2 percent objective; To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate, the Committee decided to continue purchasing additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $4 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month; The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from agency debt and mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities; Along with rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction, these actions should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative; The Committee will continue its purchases of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, and employ its other policy tools as appropriate until the outlook for the labor market has improved substantially in a context of price stability; The Committee is prepared to increase or reduce the pace of its purchases to maintain appropriate policy accommodation as the outlook for the labor market or inflation changes. To support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee expects that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends, and the economic recovery strengthens. The Committee decided to keep the target range of the federal funds rate at to ¼ percent and currently anticipates that this exceptionally low range will be appropriate at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6-1/2 percent, inflation between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than 2-1/2 percent, and longer-term inflation expectations continue to be well anchored. The Committee will also consider other information, including additional measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments; When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent. There is uncertainty over when the Federal Reserve will begin to reduce or taper its security purchases, increasing interest rates. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for July 3 th 31 st, 213. The FOMC released its latest forecast for real GDP and the unemployment rate on June 19, 213, which is shown on the following "box and whiskers" charts. The red boxes are the central tendency forecast and 4
5 the full range of uncertainty is reflected in the whiskers, or vertical lines. The June forecast was similar to the March forecast with a slightly lower range of forecast GDP growth for 213 and 214. The GDP chart shows that recovery started in 29, but it is expected to be several years before the economy returns to a more normal long-run trend ( LR ). For 213, the overall projected range of growth is 2. to 2.6 percent with a central tendency range of 2.3 to 2.6 percent. For 214, the overall projected range is 2.2 to 3.6 percent with a central tendency range of 3. to 3.5 percent growth. For 215, the overall projected range is 2.3 to 3.8 percent with a central tendency range of 2.9 to 3.6 percent growth. The long-run trend for Real GDP has a range of 2. to 3. percent growth with a central tendency of 2.3 to 2.5 percent. Real GDP growth rates are based on the change from the fourth quarter of one year to the fourth quarter of the next year.

As shown in the chart on the next page, the 212 national unemployment rate was high at 7.8 percent but an improvement over the 211 rate of 8.7 percent. For 213, the projected range for the unemployment rate is 6.9 to 7.5 percent with a central tendency range of 7.2 to 7.3 percent. For 214, the projected range for the unemployment rate is 6.2 to 6.9 percent with a central tendency range of 6.5 to 6.8 percent. For 215, the projected range for the unemployment rate is 5.7 to 6.4 percent with a central tendency range of 5.8 to 6.2 percent. Long-run unemployment is expected to be in a range of 5. to 6. percent with a central tendency of 5.2 to 6. percent. The projections for unemployment are for the fourth quarter of each year. 5

7 Airport Passenger Activity Airport passenger activity is the sum of arrivals and departures for Southwest Florida International (RSW), Sarasota Bradenton International (SRQ), and Punta Gorda (PGD) airports. Peak seasonal activity occurs in February, March, and April, with significantly lower activity in the summer months. Charts 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the seasonality of airport passenger traffic and the changes from year to year. Total activity for the three Southwest Florida airports amounted to 961,76 passengers in April 213. This represented a 25-percent decrease from March 213 but a three-percent increase over April 212. Passenger activity increased by 128,218 to 4,83,51 in the four months ended April 3, 213, a threepercent increase over the same period in 212. Chart 1 shows SW Florida International airport passenger activity of 815,978 in April 213, three-percent above the figure for April 212. Sarasota Bradenton passenger activity amounted to 117,579 in April 213, which was 13 percent below April 212, as shown in Chart 2.

The national ICS rose to 84.5 in May 213, an 8.1-point increase from April 213, and a 5.2 point increase from May 212. The May 31 st Surveys of Consumers notes, A rising stock market and higher home prices prompted consumers to report their most improved financial situation in more than five years. The May gain was largest among upper-income households, although gains were recorded across all income groups...leading households to adopt the most improved outlook for the national economy since 27. Importantly, the most common news item that consumers mentioned hearing was about rising employment. The Florida Consumer Confidence Index for May 213 rose to 81, an increase of 2 points from the April figure, and 3 points higher than May 212. Confidence in the Florida economy is at a post-recession high, said Chris McCarty, the Survey Director. The last time consumer sentiment was this high was August of 27 when it was 82, shortly before the Great Recession began. This month we are on an upward trend with three straight months of increases. Last month s increase was largely due to increased consumer sentiment among respondents under age 6 who were optimistic about their personal finances and U.S. economic conditions. While younger respondents maintained that level of optimism in May, older respondents were substantially more optimistic about long term U.S. economic conditions over the next five years as that component increased 15 points for those over age 6. 21
