Fishkind Commentary: Florida's Economy Gets Boost From Falling Gas Prices

Economic analyst Hank Fishkind

If you traveled by car over the Thanksgiving holiday, you might have noticed that filling your gas tank was cheaper than you expected. Gas prices are down worldwide, and that may have OPEC in a tailspin but it's great for Florida’s tourism-driven economy, according to economic analyst Hank Fishkind. This week, Fishkind tells WMFE’s Nicole Creston who wins and who loses when gas prices fall.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined WMFE in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
