WASHINGTON, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by a booming tech sector and ample affordable housing, the Space Coast of Florida leads the nation in the percentage of workers with living-wage jobs, while two west Texas regions lead the nation in "functional unemployment," with one community approaching 50%, according to an analysis released by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Key Points: 
  • In this year's TRU by MSA report, LISEP found that the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville MSA on Florida's Space Coast had the lowest TRU in the nation for 2022 at 11.1%, dropping 4.3% from 2021.
  • This leaves a large portion of the economy reliant on low-paying business clusters, such as food and beverage production and retail.
  • Similarly, another west Texas region – the El Paso MSA – ranked among the highest for functional unemployment, with the second highest TRU among the most populous 100 MSAs at 31.7%.
  • This improvement can be attributed in part to its large manufacturing hub, which grew at a 4% clip last year.
