It’s because private taxpaying railroads have largely been put out of business by free government owned and operated roads where user fees dont even cover a fraction of the cost to build and operate the roads. The government public sector is undermining private free enterprise.

Not sure if the Florida Department of Commerce has a good track record for predicting jobs 8 years out. Let’s assume they do. I would be willing to bet 8 years from now: 50% of the top 10 job type reduced were unexpected. Thats how disruptive and seismic robotic innovations and GenAI will be.

I’m ready to bet that in 2032, the real results would be a lot different. They might be making projections based on the currently available data, but the world is changing too fast and there are a lot of changes that are going to be happening both politically and technologically until then for anybody to be able to make a good prediction.
