Median income in Florida is around $30,000 per year. It should be around $45,000 if it wasn't for the Orlando area which pulls the State down with its quarter million tourism service related jobs.

I know about Floirda I lived there for 10 1/2 years still keep up on things by reading online versions of Tampa Tribune and Sarastoa Herald on a daily basis.
And if you read $30K doesn't by you much when the average price of a house in Sarasota was $150K in 2003 and is $300K today. Did incomes rise by 100% in that time. Did McDonalds workers go from $7-$14 an hour? Um no.
If you want to know statistical data on floida like median income and such here's good place.
