Five years after the worst recession in a generation retail is boosting Central Florida's economy.

Economist Hank Fishkind tells 90.7's Amy Green robust tourism is driving retail in the region.

Fishkind began the conversation by explaining retail in Central Florida is thriving at a time when the sector nationwide is weak.
