Miami-Dade GDP Increased 3.5 Percent In 2023

Miami-Dade’s GDP grew 3.5 percent between 2022 and 2023, according to newly released data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

That is slightly faster than the national average of 2.9% during the same period.

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach MSA saw a GDP growth rate of 4% during the period, while the State of Florida growth rate was 4.3%.

Miami-Dade’s growth slowed after extremely sharp GDP growth in 2021 and 2022. The 2021 growth rate was 11.2% (the fastest in decades), followed by 6.9% GDP growth in 2022.

Almost no metric was it a disaster nation wide. In fact it was quite strong.

affordability and credit card debt. High GDP numbers doesn’t mean anything to someone working a low paying job and can’t afford anything. Most people were not doing good in this economy and wanted change. the election results show that.

So with that logic, you could say it was DJT’s economy. After all, for the first three years of his first term, your type was saying it was all BHO’s, despite the economy not recovering until the House and Senate both flipped in 2014. It crashed when it flipped the other way in 2007, but it was all Dubya’s fault go figure.

When a gallon of milk was $4 in 2016, and is now $8.50 that is not great when wages do not follow.

Further, GDP include government jobs and Defense Spending. Things like the $112,000,000,000 ($112Bn) in aid to Ukraine would have counted toward GDP.
The December 2024 new $988 million aid package for Ukraine, including rockets and drones, to bolster its defense against ongoing aggression will also count in the new GDP release.

The Federal Gov’t has been growing and “investing” far more than the private sector, and they are using printed money to do. This explains why honest people do not feel that the economy is getting any better.

GDP numbers does not equate to a good economy for working class people. The average person in Miami can barely afford to live here. That is not a good economy

Extend the Metromover to Mars, add bike lanes to I-95, and speed bumps to Biscayne Boulevard and our economy will be the Roaring 20s on steroids. I guarantee it.

Wait, so Miami-Dade had possibly the slowest growth in the state? Why are we slower than average?

Because of our size?

Because the Miami-Dade number is bigger.
It’s harder to move the needle when you building off a big number.

Because we don’t produce anything and our GDP is almost entirely based on people buying stuff. Miami dade is the most expensive so it makes sense people aren’t buying things at the rate of the rest of the state.

But Did the city or county really have a population dip in some of the past 5 or 10 years? One missed by the decennial census, but caught by one of the other estimates covering just before or just after 2020?

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach MSA, which as its name implies, also includes Broward County. It also includes PBC, which has boomed the most.

All that GDP growth can be attributed to Jeff Bezos relocating and Russian oligarchy cash coming in. Same old Dade economy.

The demand for Russians curbed off years ago, that’s very old news. You do realize there has been a significant amount of companies that have opened offices here and whether it’s completely the reality or not, being that they are legally headquartered here, the revenue gets quantified. Plus incredible travel demand, continued events/conferences/banquets/etc., etc. etc. etc.

Russians? Last time I checked in on Sunny Isles it was a mix of latins and eastern europeans, but not many russians.

It’s been called “Little Moscow” for years, especially with the help of the MSM attempting to link DJT to Russia in their futile conspiracy theory. Ever since the beginning of 2022, it’s been damage control with them denying ever being called Little Moscow.
