Our 2016 New Year comes in on a positive note for Martin County.
Stuart News “Progress & Innovation” magazine (page 22) for May 19, 2014, reminds us of the economic value of our quality of life. The article entitled “Manufacturing on the rise again along the Treasure Coast” has charts and graphs for each Indian River County, Martin County and St. Lucie County for 2006-2013.
2013 Number of Manuf Establishments Avg Monthly Jobs Avg Annual Wages
Martin County 233 3089 $50,388
Indian River 132 1835 $43,264
St. Lucie County 167 2454 $40,404
So St. Lucie County population is almost twice Martin County’s but we have more and higher paying manufacturing jobs!
