• BThe number of people who move out of Florida to accept employment in other states has increased over the past ten years.  
• CThere are far more local businesses in Florida that cater to tourists than there are local businesses that cater to retirees.  
• DThe total number of people who retired and moved to another state for their retirement has increased significantly over the past ten years.  
• EThe number of people who left Florida when they retired to live in another state was greater last year than it was ten years ago.
