Daytona's Tourism Wage Profile: Volusia County's service-sector workforce — particularly in hospitality, food service, and tourism-adjacent businesses along the beach corridor — consistently qualifies for near-maximum SHOP credit. Average wages at Daytona Beach hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues often fall in the $28,000–$36,000 range, putting most small hospitality employers in the 42–50% credit tier. A 10-person Daytona hospitality employer with $36,000 average wages can provide Bronze coverage for $582/month net — less than $60/employee/month in employer cost — while meaningfully reducing turnover in a high-competition labor market.
