Federal. State. and local projects are jeopardized. Tourism in its peak months will be dealt a severe blow. a blow which could scarcely be endured by a community beset with a multitude of problems brought on through absorption of 150.000 to 200.000 Cuban refugees. The increasingly serious economic plight of the Dade County. Fla.. area is well known. The official unemployment rate now stands at about 6 percent. This figure ignores the large number of unemployed Cuban refugees. It is presently under revision by the Department of Labor. in coordination with the Florida Industrial Commission. Dade County officials believe that the revised figure will more than double the present figure.
