updates: Florida lawmakers have opportunities to address the state's ongoing workforce shortage during the 2024 Legislative Session. The state is facing a shortage of skilled workers, particularly in the healthcare industry, with a projected shortage of nearly 60,000 nurses by 2034. To address this shortage, lawmakers should create new paths to employment through workforce development strategies, support workforce-focused interstate compacts, and pass legislation to recognize all out-of-state occupational licenses. Florida is one of 28 states that has not passed a universal licensing recognition law. By investing in the workforce, Florida can continue leading the nation in population and economic growth.
