Ocala's 'Economic Catastrophe' in Jobs - Taylor, Bean & Whitaker - - from Florida Trend, Florida's Source For Business News

In Ocala, Fl, you are either very rich or you are among the starving-poor. If, you cannot afford to take care of yourself, you are encouraged to leave by bus, if possible.

Between the horse-people and the mob in-hiding, it is a very scarey place to be living in. The retirees bring in their own money for survival. If, they run out of money, they had better have enough gas in the car to get back up north.

Workers wages are kept even with the farm workers wages. The county commissioners gave in to the horse farm owners over twenty years ago. No one can survive on such limited income on a normal basis. Now, the opportunity to live on the unemployment wage is totally impossible.
