Howard Frank, Director of FIU's Jorge M. Perez Metropolitan Center and a professor of public policy, shares his perspective on how the economy has changed since the pandemic began.
“We are following a path that is very dangerous,” said Dr. Maria D. Ilcheva, assistant director of planning and operations at the Jorge M. Perez Center Metropolitan Center at Florida International University. “We keep rebuilding in these vulnerable areas. It’s a universal problem within the United States.”
“Most of the leisure and hospitality jobs in both counties are nearer to the coast where most of the damage and economic impacts occurred,” said Edward “Ned” Murray, associate director of the Jorge M. Pérez Metropolitan Center at Florida International University.
