4 Introduction: Regional and National Background For the fourth consecutive month, Southwest Florida exhibited healthy growth in several areas of the regional economy. Positive trends included a 27-percent increase in single-family building permits from August 2016 to August 2017, a 4-percent increase in taxable sales from June 2016 to June 2017, and a 9- percent increase in airport passenger activity from July 2016 to July The region also saw its seasonally-adjusted regional unemployment rate fall to 4.0 percent in August 2017 from 4.1 percent in July 2017, and from 4.7 percent in August The unemployment rate for the region continues to compare favorably to the national economy (4.4 percent). Other highlights from this report include: Lee County reported a 2-percent increase in existing single-family home sales between August 2016 and August 2017, while Charlotte County fractionally decreased over the same time span. Both Collier and Charlotte County experienced increases in tourist tax revenues from July 2016 to July 2017, rising 7 percent and 20 percent respectively. The FGCU Industry Diversification Index for Southwest Florida, released on September 25th, was 8.36, ranking the region 11th out of 24 workforce regions in the state. The RERI staff extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the dedicated individuals and organizations who contribute to this report. These include FGCU student workers affiliated with the RERI, the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council, the Economic Development Organizations of Charlotte, Collier, and Lee counties, the Convention and Visitors Bureaus of Charlotte, Collier and Lee counties, the regional airport authorities, the Realtors of Collier, Lee, and Charlotte counties, the University of Florida Survey Research Center, and the county and city permit offices. 4
5 Arrivals plus Departures - Thousands 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 this seasonality as well as the changes from year to year. Passenger activity for the three airports grew to 726,790 in July 2017, representing a 1-percent increase over the prior month and a 9-percent increase over July RSW recorded 530,428 passengers in July 2017, up 10 percent from July 2016 (see Chart 1). Passenger activity in Punta Gorda rose to 116,799 in July 2017, a 10-percent increase over July 2016 (Chart 2).

The national ICS fell 1.7 points from August 2017 to September 2017 to 95.1, which marks an increase of 3.9 points from September The September 29, 2017 issue of Survey of Consumers noted that consumer resilience has again been demonstrated as concerns about the impact of the hurricanes on the national economy have quickly faded. Given that the survey was able to reach most households in Florida and Texas in late September, it should be no surprise that small declines were recorded in the current financial situation of households. The Florida Consumer Sentiment Index measure for September 2017 was 95.5, a decline of 0.6 points from August 2017, but 4 points above the September 2016 figure. This data is depicted in Chart 21 below. Most of the pessimism in September stems from negative expectations regarding the personal financial situation of Floridians in the short-run. These expectations reflect in part the current and expected effects of the hurricane season on the state, said Hector H. Sandoval, director of the Economic Analysis Program at UF s Bureau of Economic and Business Research, as reported in the Florida Consumer Sentiment Index of October 3,

The first two charts, Charts A1 and A2, show historic population growth through 2015, as well as projections updated annually by the state of Florida s Office of Economic and Demographic Research, working in conjunction with the University of Florida s Bureau of Economic and Business Research. The second two charts, Charts A3 and A4, depict historic measures of U.S. GDP growth rates and unemployment as well as projections by the Federal Reserve s Federal Open Market Committee, while Chart A5 depicts the FGCU Industry Diversification Index for Southwest Florida and the state. Charts A3, A4, and A5 are updated quarterly. Regional Population From 1990 to 2015, regional population growth averaged 2.7 percent per year. The compound average annual rate of growth for 1990 to 2015 was 2.8 percent in Lee County, 3.3 percent in Collier County, 1.7 percent in Charlotte County, 2.1 percent in Glades County, and 1.6 percent in Hendry County. The righthand sections of Charts A1 and A2 show projected population increases from 2016 to All projected rates of increase are lower than the historic growth rates of 1990 to Growth for the five-county region averages 1.6 percent per year, resulting in a population increase of 47 percent for the five-county region from 2015 to This would bring the total to 1,803,526, amounting to nearly 576,000 additional residents. Lee County s population is projected to grow an average of 1.9 percent per year, Collier County 20

22 National GDP and Unemployment Charts A3 and A4 depict both historical trends and the Federal Open Market Committee s projections for national Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) and Unemployment. The FOMC s projections are released quarterly and reflect the assessments of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and of Federal Reserve District Bank presidents, with the most recent figures shown in the following charts. The dotted lines depict the highest and lowest projections or the range of all projections while the darker blue area within the dotted lines depict the central tendency forecast within those projections. Chart A3 shows the recovery in GDP growth following the most recent recession, and current projections close to the normal long-run trend ( LR ). Real GDP growth rates are based on the change from the fourth quarter of one year to the fourth quarter of the next year. The September 2017 forecast projects an increase in GDP growth for the remainder of 2017 compared to the 1.6 percent recorded for The overall high and low projections (shown as ranges below) for the rest of 2017, 2018, 2019, and the long run showed little change from the projections made in the June 2017 forecast, with the central tendency forecast hovering around the 2 percent mark through 2018 and then falling slightly thereafter. None of the projections achieves the 3 percent GDP measure that economists generally associate with an economy operating with a full employment of resources. Chart A3: Historic and Projected GDP Growth, 2007 to Long Run Source: Historical data obtained from Bureau of Economic Analysis. Projected data obtained from Federal Reserve Open Market Committee Meeting Statement, September 20, 2017 Chart A4 depicts the recovery in unemployment following the 2008 recession to levels, beginning in 2016, more closely associated with natural rates of unemployment. Compared to these national numbers, unemployment rates in Florida and Southwest Florida tend to be more volatile, falling lower when national unemployment is falling and rising higher when national unemployment is rising. 22
23 The September forecast projects continued declines in unemployment through 2019, with an average central tendency forecast close to 4.0 percent for the rest of 2017, 2018, and 2019, and then rising in the long run. The lower range forecast now falls below 4 percent in 2018 and remains there for two years. If the U.S. economy avoids falling into a recession past the summer of 2019 an outcome consistent with the Fed s projections then the current expansion will be the longest one observed in 150 years. Chart A4: Historic and Projected Unemployment, 2007 to Long Run Source: Historical data obtained from Bureau of Economic Analysis. Projected data obtained from Federal Reserve Open Market Committee Meeting Statement, September 20, The next quarterly release of projections for GDP and Unemployment will be released following the FOMC meeting scheduled in December These projections will be updated in the January 2018 edition of Regional Economic Indicators. Industry Diversification Index The FGCU Industry Diversification Index (IDI) measures the degree to which a region s workforce is concentrated in few industries or dispersed into many. The IDI is computed quarterly by the Regional Economic Research Institute s Industry Diversification Project, which tracks industry diversification by Metropolitan Statistical Area, workforce region, and state. (For more details, please go to lutgert.fgcu.edu/idi). The IDI can be between 0 and 10, with a higher index denoting a more diverse workforce and a lower one denoting a less diverse workforce. Industry diversification is an important factor explaining our state and region s tendency to overheat during expansions in the business cycle and overcorrect during contractions in the business cycle. 23
24 IDI 2015 Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q1 IDI Chart A5 shows the industry diversification index for the Southwest Florida workforce region and the state of Florida. Southwest Florida shows an increase in industry diversification from the fourth quarter of 2006 to the 3rd quarter of After 2008, the Southwest Florida workforce region exhibits a seasonal trend, mainly due to the stronger influence of tourism and seasonal residents that visit Southwest Florida during the winter season, increasing the demand for retail trade and accommodation and food service jobs. During the first quarter of 2017, the IDI for Southwest Florida measured at 8.36, and ranked as the 11th most industrially diverse workforce region in the state of Florida. Meanwhile, the state of Florida had an IDI of 8.56, ranking as the 21st highest state in the nation in industry diversification Chart A5: Industry Diversification Index, 2000 to 2017 Industry Diversification Index Past Nine Quarters Florida IDI Southwest Florida IDI 9.50 Historical Trend Florida IDI Southwest Florida IDI Source: lutgert.fgcu.edu/idp 24
