FLORIDA BOOM CROP:
D0LLARS-J0BLESS

TAMPA, Fla, FP)-Dollars and
orange trees grow in what the state
chamber of MINER happily calls
fabulous Florida" And so do the peo-
pie who have no dollars-the unem-
ployed.
A recent release OF the state-owned
Florida News Service, citing bank
statements furnished the state m
t%roller, boosted that deposits are
mounting higher almost daily" and
hat many elements in the financial
structure OF the state show resources
have often multiplied tcnfold within the
last 10 years"
That's the success story OF the big
shot Floridans and northern black mar
keteers growing fat off the v~acationist
who are uncomplainingly paying spec
t%acular prices at the hotels, shops and
night clubs in the crowded beach re-
sorts.
Mobs Of tourists willing to pay any
price for chicken-coop space have sent
rents in Miami Beach and Palm Springs
soaring to new heights and not far be-
hind are the prices of food. clothing
and entertainment. On display at a
haberdashery shop in Miami recently
was a tie selling for 81, 500 which, ac-
cording to one newspaper %columnist,
found several eager customers.
But Floridas big postwar boom does
not show up in the records of the U. S.
Employment Service offices in various
cities. In Tampa. for example, only 900
jobs we're available for 1854 registered
workers March | with 2,400 more unem-
ployed expected within the next two
months.
OF the 900 jobs currently offered,
more than hall are in unskillcd cate
gories and all but a few OF the rest are
in low-paid. generally open shop con-
Germs. Men and women workers are
being laid off daily by the Tampa Ship
building corporation, by local govern
ments.
Despite the mounting unemployment,
Florida bank deposits are expected to
reach an alltime high OF 5000 million
in 1910 as against 1887 million in 1914.
Unconcerncd that thousands OF work
ers are faced with the dilemma OF pay
ing tourist-inflated prices on low pay
or no wages at all, the chamber of COM
merce review boosted:
Victory at arms having released
an unprecedented surge of visitors with
bales of spending money. Florida is
lolling in a half-biliion dollar tourist
season, the greatest in its economic his
tory"
