ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Out-of-state soldiers at Florida military bases tend to come from California, Virginia and Texas, while Central America is one of the top sources of new construction workers in the Sunshine State.
New data released by the U.S. Census Bureau this month shows where workers came from before moving to Florida in 2012.
Not surprisingly, New York and Georgia were the top sources of new workers in Florida. They also have been the top states from which all new residents are coming to Florida in recent years.
Florida’s service workers tended to be drawn from New York and Georgia, as well as the Caribbean.
