Description: Public officials and business leaders have become increasingly concerned that the soaring costs of housing in Miami may dampen plans for urban revitalization. Many observers have noted that middle- and upper-income professionals can no longer afford housing in Southeast Florida.1 Moreover, in the aftermath of an unprecedented hurricane season which left many homeless or forced to live in substandard conditions, attention has been drawn to the fact that Miami’s housing market is not affordable for moderate and lower-income workers.2 Thus observers have come to recognize the need for affordable housing for an economically diverse range of workers and households.

Description: In December 2014, the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) approved an “Economic Incentive Agreement” with the developers of the Miami World Center. This agreement provides an estimated $105 to $175 million in tax increment financing to Miami World Center. In return, the developer made pledges regarding local hiring and wage rates. In this paper, we compare the Miami World Center (MWC) “Economic Incentive Agreement” (EIA) with four other similar agreements to provide a perspective on how well the MWC agreement lines up with the benefits secured by other communities. 2 Like the MWC, these projects were planned near or within low-income communities.

Description: This is the second in a series of reports monitoring the growing problem of wage theft in Florida. Using previously unanalyzed data from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and separate data from various community organizations, this report shows evidence of a widespread problem across abroad spectrum of industries in Florida. The industries especially impacted are those commonly thought of as the core of Florida’s economy—tourism, retail trade, and construction. Moreover, it appears more likely to affect those workers who can least afford it. Workers who receive low wages seem to be more likely to have their wages stolen by employers and as demonstrated in this report this is a large number of people. But, even this data does not account for the full magnitude of the problem, as an unknown number of cases go unreported. Indeed, as data on wage theft accumulates, the more it becomes clear how widespread wage theft is in the state of Florida and throughout the state’s industries. Wage theft is defined as workers not receiving wages that they are legally owed. It occurs in different forms including unpaid overtime, not being paid at least the minimum wage, working during meal breaks, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, forcing employees to work off the clock, altering time cards or pay stubs, illegally deducting money from employees’ pay checks, paying employees late, or simply not paying employees at all. Unfortunately, many employers know they can getaway with wage theft and have little fear of sanction. Enforcement mechanisms are weak, due to lack of dedicated enforcement capacity at the state level, limited capacity of local branches of the Federal Department of Labor, and the gaps in U.S. labor laws that leave many employees unprotected.

Description: This report is the first in a series describing and exposing the extent of wage violations in the state of Florida. This project is an initiative of the Florida Wage Theft Task Force (WTTF) whose mission is to find solutions to and increase public awareness about wage violations experienced by Florida’s workingmen and women. The report is being released for a countywide day of action against wage theft that the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners is expected to declare to coincide with an upcoming National Day of Action on November 18, 2010.

Description: This report is part of a series of reports monitoring the growing problem of wage theft in Florida. Using previously analyzed data from the Federal Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and stories collected from various community organizations, this report shows evidence of a widespread problem in Broward County. The data in the report does not account for the full magnitude of the problem, as an unknown number of wage theft cases go unreported. Indeed, as data on wage theft accumulates, the more it becomes clear how widespread wage theft is in Broward County and throughout the county’s industries. The impact of wage theft also raises the question of whether Broward’s economy can be healthy and grow while tolerating an unjust business model that avoids contributing to tax revenues. The employers who fail to follow the laws concerning their workers create an unfair business environment that penalizes those who do follow the law. Maintaining a level playing field for businesses is critical to maintaining a competitive business environment and to economic growth. The dishonest business model of practicing wage theft puts law-abiding employers at a competitive disadvantage and undermines Broward’s efforts to attract business.

Description: Since 2006, the Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy (RISEP)1 at Florida International University has been working with the Florida Wage Theft Task Force (WTTF)2tocreate a database of wage violations collected by community organizations throughout Florida and, wage and hour violations reported by the U.S. Department of Labor throughout the state. The purpose of the database is to document the extent of wage theft, to quantify how much lost wages have been recovered, and to see which industries in Florida are most affected by the problem. The data in this report highlights wage theft cases reported to the Wage and Hour Division of the Florida office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in Alachua County and wage theft stories collected by the Alachua County Wage Theft Task Force3and shared with RISEP. The data in this report is limited to only the cases reported to the DOL agency and to the Alachua County Wage Theft Task Force, and does not account for the full magnitude of wage theft cases in Alachua County, as an unknown number of cases are unreported.

Description: Unemployment compensation was created in 1935 by the Social Security Act and serves two main purposes: 1) providing benefits to workers out of work through no fault of their own, and2) maintaining purchasing power and stabilizing the economy. Florida has one of the strictest systems in the country based on its rankings among other states on eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, and recipiency rates, and robust scrutiny of claims. Therefore it is unlikely that many people are receiving unemployment compensation who are not entitled to it, while certain groups of workers who should be entitled to compensation are excluded under the law. Unemployment compensation has provided a net benefit to Florida’s economy of over $9.8billion since the beginning of the recession, combining both the state program and federal extension programs. UC has been shown in previous studies to be one of the most effective stabilizers of the economy and a more effective stimulus than other methods such as tax cuts.

Description: The Service Employees International Union Florida Healthcare Union, better known as SEIU Healthcare Florida, is the major union in the healthcare sector in Florida. This union is growing in a state with extremely low union membership, and in an industry that has been virtually union free in Florida in the past. In the private sector, Florida’s unionization rate in 2008 was the second lowest of all 50 states. Public policies in the state are not favorable to unions; it is a “right-to-work” state, meaning that unions and employers are forbidden to require employees covered by a union contract to pay union dues, thus weakening labor unions. Despite these obstacles, SEIU Healthcare Florida has grown almost ten-fold in the past 10 years, from a little over 1,000 members to well over 10,000.Through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, this report systematically investigates its impacts on members’ perceptions of changes in (a) conditions at the workplace; (b) quality of patient care; (c) wages and benefits; and (d) member participation in public affairs. The general results show this union to be a force for public betterment: higher quality patient care, greater incorporation of marginalized populations in the country’s civic and political affairs, greater equality for populations facing discrimination, a fairer and more “empowering” workplace, and better wages and benefits for healthcare workers.

Description: On November 2, 2004 the electorate of Miami-Dade County passed the “Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond” (GOB) initiative, which authorized the county to issue bonds for up to $2.925 billion over the next 30 years. Two of these projects were the renovation of the Orange Bowl and the expansion of Jackson South Community Hospital campus, with the county contributing $50 million of the $150 million Orange Bowl project and $52 million toward the total $100 million cost of the hospital expansion. This report analyzes the advantages and disadvantages to the county in using registered apprenticeship programs for some of the work on these projects. The purpose is to see whether apprentice usage is a desirable practice for the county.

Description: This 12th edition of State of Working Florida focuses on wage and income inequality in Florida through an analysis of labor market and demographic indicators for the period between 1980 and 2014. This edition reveals that existing wage and income inequalities in Florida were exacerbated by the economic recovery following the Great Recession. When comparing the wage gap between the top and bottom deciles, 10th percentiles, of wage earners, data shows that inequality has been increasing over the last 35 years. Data indicates that high wageworkers have absorbed most of the economic gains since 1980 while low-wage workers have been marginalized. Furthermore, the economic expansion experienced after the great recession of 2007 has been characterized by unprecedented gains in the financial market and a much softer rebound in the labor market. The disparity between the economic gains of the top and bottom 10 percent of wage and income earners during this time has had a corrosive effect on the quality of life and standard of living of Floridians. Additionally, the growing gap between the top and the bottom has weakened upper social mobility opportunities. Large employing but low-paying industries and occupations play a large role in the stagnation of general wages and in increasing inequality between Floridians. The analysis relies on earnings indicators because most Floridians derive their income from wages and salaries. For working Floridians, wages and salaries do not only determine their financial and economic status; but ultimately determines how much they contribute back to the general economic health of the state. A low wage translates into lower purchasing power, which means less money to spend on food, housing, healthcare, transportation and many other resources that are necessary to maintain a proper standard of living and quality of life. Likewise, low wages directly contribute to a weak and slow-growing economy. It is the intention of this report to further unveil the growing gap and to illustrate the viable alternatives for mitigating these corrosive trends in Florida. This report argues that growing inequality and social mobility can be addressed by promoting socio-economic policies that include: increasing the minimum wage, wage theft protections, pay transparency, on-the-job training, industry strategic job development investment, promotion of unionization and a better alignment between workforce development and educational initiatives.

Description: This 11th edition of State of Working Florida focuses on wage inequality in Florida through an analysis of labor market and demographic indicators for the period between 1980and 2013. At the core of this edition are the questions ‘how unequal is Florida today and how has inequality changed over time?. This report focuses on wages and wage inequality instead of overall wealth or household income inequality because wages are the greatest source of income for most people and dramatically affect the quality of life and social mobility afforded to Floridians. In fact, wages not only determine how well families are doing but also ultimately determine the general health of our overall economy. Strong and growing wages reflect a strong and growing economy but low wages mean Floridians have less money to spend on food, housing, healthcare, transportation and many other resources that define their quality of life. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Current Population Survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Annual Social and Economic Supplement 2013, and the U.S. Census: American Community Survey this report provides evidence for a stagnant median wage and increasing wage inequality in Florida. Comparing the wage gap between the top and bottom 25% of wage earners data show that inequality has because many Floridians have experienced economic marginalization or are stuck in low-wage industries while few privileged workers absorbed most of the economic gains since 1980. The growing gap between high and low wage earners means that Florida’s workers are living in increasingly separate worlds. Ultimately, economic marginalization and large employing but low-paying industries play a large role in the stagnation of general wages and in increasing inequality. What’s more is 3State of Working Florida | 2014that inequality directly affects the likelihood of future social mobility and the economic prosperity of our state. However, inequality can be reduced and social mobility increased by increasing the minimum wage, wage theft protections, pay transparency, on-the-job training, state-business skill development, and union representation to everyone's benefit, especially those historically marginalized groups.

Description: This will be the fifth consecutive Labor Day in which the state of Florida continues to lag behind other states. Five years ago, the news was that the Great Recession was going to hit Florida harder, because it had relied so heavily on an inflated construction industry. Three years ago, the news was that Florida was breaking records in almost every economic indicator – but not in a good way. This year the news is that the recovery in Florida has been one of the most anemic in the country. Even though the Recovery officially began three years ago, Florida is still struggling with the aftermath of the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Some economic indicators have started to show improvement, like unemployment rates and the Jobseekers ratio; however, others have worsened and Florida is still breaking records. The Recovery has not been a single recovery for all workers in Florida. In reality, our data show that the Recovery has been experienced differently, especially by gender and race. Three years of economic recovery have allowed us to evaluate how Florida has been recovering and where it seems to be headed. At this writing, the prospects are bleak. Florida seems to be headed into another decade of jobless recovery, wage and income stagnation, more low-wage jobs, less public services, and more disparities between demographic groups.

Description: Florida was one of the hardest hit states during the Great Recession of 2007-2009, which was brought on by the housing and financial market crashes. Although some industries have gained jobs in the last six months and we are beginning to see some life in the housing market, there are still serious concerns about the possibility of a double dip recession given the very slow economic growth in the nation. There are also questions about the degree of structural changes in the economy underlying the continuing unemployment crisis which could have a profound effect on our ability to recover fully from there cession. In short, more than two years after the official end of the recession, the path to recovery is not yet clear in Florida or the nation. This report focuses on how workers are faring in Florida’s economy, and the overriding theme in 2011 is the stark contrasts in the impact of the recession on different groups of workers. While higher educated workers in higher paying jobs appear to be doing fairly well and even gaining ground in wages, lower educated workers, African American workers, and young workers, are still facing extremely high unemployment rates and wage decreases. During the worst point of the recession 1.1 million people were out of work in Florida, and unemployment reached 12% in December 2010. In the last six months unemployment has come down to 10.7% and 64,300 jobs have been added. However improvement has been uneven, with growth concentrated in a few industries, particularly Health Care and Social Assistance, Accommodation and Food Services, and Administrative and Waste services. In July the state lost 22,000 jobs, mostly due to losses in local government including public schools. Florida’s “jobs deficit” is 981,000, the number needed to make up losses from the recession and keep up with population growth, and it will take prolonged period of steady growth to eliminate this deficit. While certain areas of Florida’s economy have improved, the recession and job losses have meant severe hardship for hundreds of thousands of workers in Florida with wide disparities in the impacts indifferent groups.

Description: The last several years have been extremely hard ones for Florida’s workers. The recession that started in2007 has been one of the deepest in history, and Florida was both a leader of the recession and one of the hardest hit states due to the vulnerability of our economy to the housing market crash. In the last two years, we have seen historically high levels of unemployment and underemployment, reductions to hours for those who still have jobs, and we are beginning to see an impact on wages as well. As a result, poverty and income inequality have increased in the state.

Description: This report presents annual data on the Florida labor force and comparisons with the U.S. Last year we could only see the beginning of the downturn, and now we see very clearly that the period from 2004 to 2007 represented a bubble in the economy that was unsustainable. Job losses and the increase in unemployment have entirely wiped away the gains made during the boom period. With regards to number of jobs and the unemployment rate, the gains that were made during those years have been lost, as if that growth had never occurred. Although the monthly data shows that job losses and unemployment appear to be leveling off, they are not likely to improve until at least well into next year, meaning that hundreds of thousands of Florida families will be struggling to get by for some time to come.

Description: At the same time as the City of Miami is pursuing higher-density up-scale development and “world city” status, its’ residents face an affordable housing shortage of crisisproportions.1 Using recently released Census data from the 2006 American CommunitySurvey, 2 this report provides an updated assessment of housing affordability problems in the City of Miami, and analyzes three fundamental aspects of the housing crisis: housing “stress” or cost-burden, overcrowding in housing, and recent trends in housing costs compared to workers’ wages. As the recent building boom in South Florida has been pronounced in the urban core, the report draws particular attention to trends and conditions among renters and owners in the City of Miami. Since city residents are also affected by economic and specifically housing market conditions in the broader metropolitan area, the report examines patterns in the larger Miami-Ft. Lauderdale metropolitan area.

Description: There has been an increased use of authentic practices in both science and environmental education in recent years. Such practices can utilize social constructivist frameworks to consider the learning that may be taking place as students become engaged in tool use. The current study focuses on a group of elementary school students studying the Everglades in the field and in a classroom setting during one academic year. In particular, we observed students' use of tools (identified as tool-conventions to include both artifacts and conventions) and compared their use in both settings. We found that in the field, students spent considerable amount of time engaged in data collection activity such as taking observations and measurements that resembled what scientists might be doing and included the invention of new tools to facilitate data gathering. In this context, students generally worked more independently from the teacher, collaborated in small work groups, and engaged in more self-directed inquiry. In the classroom, while some of the scientific field tools were practiced in anticipation of their use in the field, activity included more teacher direction, often resembling what might be found in other types of classroom work and the tools used there often supported this work. Models of tool use based on Yrjo Engestrom's activity approach were constructed for both settings. Implications of the results include the importance of viewing tool use in authentic learning with a sociocultural and activity perspective to reflect the socially constructed nature of such learning. (Contains 5 figures, 1 table, and 3 endnotes.)
