Downtown MiamiOriginally uploaded by julio.miyares.

Miami,Florida is booming. It may be the last thralls of a residential condo building boom nevertheless the changes in its skyline over the course of the past two years have been prodigious.
What is fueling this? Good weather, easy access to all things water related, no state tax, rich South Americans parking their money in safe investments within the USA.
I believe another fuel for growth if not presently but surely in the future will be as a gateway to cheap labor in the Caribbean especially around High Tech (Software Engineering) professionals.
I believe a wave of technology outsourcing to Latin American countries willgain momentum similar to the current wave of high tech outsourcing to China and India. Latin American countries will be helped by the fact they are “closer” at least in terms of timezones to the USA timezones.
Miami , given its cultural affinity to the rest of Latin America will be uniquely positioned to be the hub of many efforts large and small in accelerating high technology outsourcing to latin america.
