Tampa Bay: Fifth Third Commercial Bank Chief Economist Jeff Korzenik's Cautious Forecast

February 27, 2024 • The Florida Business Journals

Insulated by an influx of money, talent and ambition, Florida's economy will fare better than most states in a downturn. While many experts are predicting a "soft landing", Fifth Third Commercial Bank Chief Economist Jeff Korzenik isn't celebrating yet, and cautions business owners to be on guard. In this download, Korzenik tells TBBJ Editor Alexis Muellner why we need to be careful, and how we can overcome the tight labor market, which will likely last for another decade.
