Major Florida industries include aerospace, life sciences, manufacturing, security, and Information Technology. Publix, Darden Restaurants, Jabil, Carnival, and Bloomin’ Brands are all headquartered in Florida.

Large businesses in Florida can also self-insure and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
