New Study Analyzes Fish Caught Per Person in Each State

A new study from SI Yachts shows how many fish are caught per person in American coastal states. The results paint a picture of the fishing industry and how fishing tourism could affect statistics. For example, Florida and South Carolina attract millions of visitors every year, many of whom like to spend some time fishing, which could boost the high numbers we see from these states and add to resident fishing contributions. Tourism adds complex layers to the data and fishing narrative, as the availability of charter boat operations, guided fishing tours, and rental services adds to the amount of fishing in any given state.

Study Analyzes Best Locations for Snowbirds Based on Weather and Economics

Snowbirds look for the best climate in the winter, but the Florida Rentals team shows that the ideal location depends on more than just weather—it also includes affordability and population. The team points out that Arkansas has ideal weather for snowbirds and is also one of the lowest cost-of-living areas in the U.S., making it a perfect option for snowbirds seeking low costs. Florida always comes out on top for snowbirds, though. Not only is the over-65 population high and the weather balmy, but no state income tax means there are strong financial advantages to living there. Compared to Hawaii, a dream location for sun and beach lovers, you’ll see an average of $4,624 in monthly living expenses. These prices put the islands out of reach for many snowbirds. The team helpfully looked at smaller-scale locations too. Florida County analyses show that Citrus County has much lower living costs than Collier County. The graphic shows that strategic, informed location decisions lead to the best snowbird experience.

Study Shows Social and Economic Impacts of Self-Employment

Self-employment can be a social and economic equalizer, as shown in a new analysis by Ooma. They reported on the number of self-employed workers over the past 30 years to reveal how it’s a driving force of innovation that can offer increased opportunity for marginalized groups. Some self-employed individuals from lower socio-economic statuses recorded increased earning potential compared to what they found at traditional jobs. Women with children appreciate the flexibility of self-employment since they can work outside of standard 9-to-5 hours. Self-employment benefits move beyond the individual and create positive effects on communities. Local startups, restaurants, tech companies, and personal training programs can all benefit from a pool of self-employed workers to partner with them. These smaller businesses can offer unique services and products that customers can’t find from large corporations.
