Central Florida - famous for its tropical climate, relaxed lifestyle and Walt Disney World Resort - is fast becoming popular with high-powered corporate executives. The market offers a young, well-educated workforce, world class universities, and a cost of living well below the national average. The Orlando MSA is made up of metro Orlando, including Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties.
High-tech employment has more than doubled since 1980, with 79 percent of total manufacturing growth in the region stemming from high-tech industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin, Siemens Telecom Network, and Dixon Ticonderoga. World Headquarters for AAA Auto Club, Hilton Hotels Corporation and Tupperware International lead the list of companies that helped establish Central Florida as one of the nation's top 50 metropolitan areas in industry and commerce.
An efficient transportation system is provided by Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike, which bisect Central Florida Orlando, complemented by equally efficient air, rail and sea transportation systems. Orlando International Airport is one of the nation's fastest growing airports and ranks as the country's 12th busiest airport.
