Curious to hear what others think about the Florida Bar's Economic Survey results, particularly in regards to the salaries. It seems as though the salaries reflected in the survey are substantially lower than what is typically talked about here as being "average." This is particularly frustrating when the people you're trying to negotiate a raise from rely on this thing like the bible.

Florida has lower salaries than most other states for some reason.

It doesn’t account for the entire delta between salaries in FL and salaries elsewhere.

I think a lot of folks on here work for either big law or Am200 firms. However, the majority of attorneys in the state work at small or localized firms. However I legal forums understand that big law and Am200 folks will always raise their voices the highest, maybe because they see it as more prestigious, because they get paid more, or both.

But I will add, the salaries have increased a lot especially in the major cities (Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Jax (I guess)).
