Workforce: Florida leads the nation in demand for skilled-trades workers but ranks last in supplying them, a potential constraint on business growth. Property Taxes: Voters will decide whether to sharply expand the homestead exemption; local officials warn the change could squeeze revenue and force service cuts.
