The"New New York"Is Working?10's Of 1000's Of Jobs?Did They See April Jobs Report?

[TheSeventhTiger]

By now most of you should of seen the ad promoting new business to New York. I assume many of us found it laughable. In the ad they were claiming that New York was creating tens of thousands of jobs. Really? not according to the last two jobs reports, and especially April.
If Cuomo really wants small business owners to relocate to New York, he needs better incentives. Like maybe No Leases Ever! Free health-care for all employees. No State Income tax. No more than a 10% tax on profits.
But even if Cuomo offered those incentives, most business owners will still go elsewhere(Like Florida & Texas, the leading states of business relocations).

and over here in Florida, we are giving some company millions to expand here. (Don't know who yet, its been on the local news all day, I hear its coming to Fort Myers). Yah, Id like to see Cuomo or Moonball bribe some major corporation 10-20 million to move their companies on their turf.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

and you couldn't pay me to leave florida to start a biz in new York. that place is a bitch to live in.

They have to do something. They are losing some of the gun manufacturers that have been there for a long time and others won't sell guns, ammo or parts to New York state or city police.
Why move to a place where the only ones with guns are the criminals and the police - but I repeat myself.

Their taxes are less angle is f*cking hilarious. Memo to NY, businesses have accountants.

 

[Mr. H.]

Those stupid fuckers in New York are suppressing tens of thousands of new jobs by banning hydraulic fracturing. Why? Because Yoko opposes it?

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

maybe they were referring to "Ten's Of Thousand's Of New Jobs" for illegal aliens and prostitutes?

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

and why didn't they include Doomberg and Cuomo in the ad as part of the deal? A great state to promote your new business along with two of the greatest politicians in the country!

You don’t actually have to tell the truth if you are in politics. As a matter of fact, it is frowned upon. People would much rather be lied to.

New York! Land Of Year Round Sunshine/Lollypops and Doomberg up your butt!

I'm sensing a regional bias to this OP.

Well both claims are true. There are hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs going begging nationally, and there are millions looking for work. Where I work, we have been looking for qualified electricians and millwrights for months. For very good paying jobs. Very few qualified applicants.

The labor market has changed. There is little call for unskilled labor, and strong demand for the skilled. But all too few take advantage of the demand for skilled labor. A journey level millwright makes 50K to 100K a year, a journey level electrician from 75K to 150K a year. Because of overtime for lack of qualified people, technicians often make more than the engineers.

By now most of you should of seen the ad promoting new business to New York. I assume many of us found it laughable. In the ad they were claiming that New York was creating tens of thousands of jobs. Really? not according to the last two jobs reports, and especially April.

Since the April jobs report is only hitting the publisher today (I don't think the BLS Commissioner has signed it yet, only 3 or 4 people, all at BLS, have seen it. And that's the national report, state and metro area for April are still a few weeks away.

So no, they haven't seen it.

But for the most recent data for New York (March 2013) from State and Metro Area Statisics, we see that non-farm payroll jobs in New York state have gone up 79,900 in the last year, and New York City metro area (New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island) jobs have gone up 106,800 in the last year. That counts as tens of thousands.

Of course, percentage-wise, that's only around a 1% increase for each. So "tens of thousands" of new jobs in a state with a labor force of 9.5 million isn't that impressive.
Texas' job growth of 322,600 jobs in the last year (+3+) is much more impressive.

In general, its the taxes that's causing New Yorkers to flee south, the illegals will stay being they are poor and cant afford to pack their bags and move south. you need a lot of money to get a decent apt. (unless u wanna move to LA).

What also missing is the numbers of lost jobs,there are still firms letting people go,over 200 by just one employer in an area that already is at 10% ,which isn't a real reflection of the numbers of out of work people,New York is retarded,they hang thier hat on the Lotto and casino's,but won't drill for gas,if it wasn't for family we would be long gone from this liberal wasteland.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

well if New York is creating thousands and thousands of jobs, why are they advertising? I have never seen a commercial done in the same fashion for Texas and Florida, Why? they don't need to. Northerners are flocking to both states. In the meantime, New York is becoming like their own Movie "Escape From New York".

No, it's not. The numbers I cited are the NET change. In other words, in the March 2013 in New York State, there were 79,900.000 more jobs than there were in March 2012.

I have two cousins who are electricians, they don't make near that and it's sometimes hard for them to find work.

79,000 new Jobs in a State as large as New York isn't much. In the meantime Florida has seen close to 300,000 new jobs since Rick Scott took office ( I don't recall the exact figure, but our unemployment sure has come down quite a bit since Obama/Pelosi&Reid F---ked up our economy in 2009)
