After one-year blip, Florida's population to grow again

Florida's population should rebound this year from its first loss in more than half a century, according to new estimates from the University of Florida.

The state is expected to add about 23,000 residents between April 1, 2009, and April 1, 2010, following a loss of almost 57,000 residents the previous year, UF's Bureau of Economic and Business Research reported Tuesday.

They are probably right on this one. As more people find ways to unload their homes and escape overbearing and failing states e.g. New York, Michigan, California - the long term domestic migration trends will continue. The good news for Florida is that most of these people are the productive ones who are fed up with paying the bills for insatiable state governments and their union allies.
