Miami-Dade's Unemployment Drops

The slowing global economy is now impacting Miami-Dade County's

employment sector and we are now feeling the national economic slowdown.

The community needs to continue with the diversification of the local

economy. International activities (wholesale trade and visitors) are

part of the reason for positive growth of the economy compared to other

parts of the country. More than ever, we need to be marketing the

County's diverse business assets, nationally and internationally,

through The Beacon Council's Miami-Dade Marketing Initiative (MDMI)

campaign.
