Abstract: Our estimates indicate that the number of jobs in the Florida labor market will decrease by about 114,000 to 285,000 from September 2021 till September 2026, per our wage elasticity levels. As many as 1.7 % to 5.6% of Florida households may be impacted by the effects of a benefits cliff following the wage increase. Our estimates examine those within the poverty level brackets of varying cutoff points for the respective public assistance programs analyzed throughout the report.
