classroom teachers,
law enforcement officers, correctional officers, firefighters,
emergency medical technicians,
paramedics,
child welfare services professionals,
active duty military members of the United States Armed Forces,
members of the Florida National Guard.

Florida pays classroom teachers one of the lowest in the US, at least in the lowest quartile. Many large corporations have REFUSED to locate in Florida because of worry about the lack of good schools for their employee's children.
