Key Takeaways for Your Region

  • The U.S. economy’s projected slowdown in 2024 poses challenges for Tampa Bay’s Extraction and Construction (predominantly construction in this EMA) and Business Services sectors, yet the area’s booming Finance and Real Estate sector is contributing to commercial developments that are foundational for long-term growth.
  • Tampa Bay is the beneficiary of substantial in-migration, which helps to enhance its growth potential but also creates challenges, exacerbating the EMA’s housing shortage and straining transit infrastructure.
  • Tampa Bay’s Information sector is less productive than the national average and is primed for a shot in the arm as the EMA vies to attract large, multinational, technology-driven businesses to the area.
