Reporting on the state of Florida’s app economy, Miami Herald‘s Nancy Dahlberg uses data collected by Dr. Michael Mandel
The Progressive Policy Institute’s Chief Economic Strategist Michael Mandel recently released a list of the top 25 App Economy states that ranked Florida sixth in the nation for the number of jobs, with more than 59,000 “app economy jobs” in December 2015, up from 15,000 in April 2012.
However, when the institute measured the number of app economy jobs against all the other jobs in the state and ranked the share of app economy jobs in the workforce — what it calls its “app intensity” ranking — Florida fell to 28th, a spokesman said.
