Disney World, opened in October of
1971, has a large impact locally on the state of Florida. As the
largest employer in the Orlando area, Disney provides160,000
jobs—just under half of the work force at Disney itself and the
other at outside contractors. Six percent of all jobs in Florida
attribute to Disney and salaries paid to workers top $1.8 billion.
Many critics argue, however, that Disney pays such a low-wage
employment and employs many of the local residents, so the standard
of living has dropped in the Orlando area (Ling).
