Another new account...As mentioned in the past, some of the local companies have job openings, which have been posted in another thread.
A good portion of the jobs are in call centers which don't pay much. CK, tell us which private sector company has opened in Buffalo in the last few years without massive state aid. Statistics are one thing, but actual jobs are another.

According to mayor Byron Brown, Cuomo has given the city of Buffalo $6.5 billion. Should be many more jobs than that. Tesla missed the mark by about 3500 jobs
Per the latest NY Labor Statistics report for August 2018, private sector employment in the Buffalo area grew by 9000 jobs in the last year, and total jobs grew by 9200. https://www.labor.ny.gov/stats/cesemp.asp
For the 3rd year in a row Buffalo area employment has reached a new record high for August, going back as far as 1990. Since the end of the recession in 2010, over 38,000 jobs have been added.
The rate of job growth was 1.6%, above the state average of 1.3%, and just below the national average of 1.7%.
Top areas of growth in raw numbers were:
- Construction +2300
- Manufacturing +600
- Finance and Insurance +1100
- Professional and Business Services +1000
- Education and Health Services +3700
Areas losing jobs:
- Retail Trade -1600
- Accommodation and Food Services -800
- Professional Scientific and Technical Services -300

Good to see a lot of the new jobs are in higher paying fields.
These are only ESTIMATES. Why would there be 3700 more jobs in Health and Education with a declining population?
From NYS Dept of Labor:
"Important Notice
Nonfarm employment estimates for New York State and metropolitan areas from April 2016-December 2017 from the monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey were revised as part of the annual benchmarking process, and released on the New York State Department of Labor web site on March 8, 2018. Some statewide and sub-state area employment data prior to April 2016 were also revised in order to eliminate series breaks.
Employment estimates for New York State and metropolitan areas are made following sampling procedures and methodologies approved by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Industry employment estimates for counties outside of metropolitan areas (called “minor areas”) are based on a historical trend methodology. BLS regulations require that minor area estimates be presented separately from estimates for New York State and metropolitan areas.
In addition, with the release of January 2018 employment data on March 8, 2018, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) State and Area program will convert to concurrent seasonal adjustment. This method uses all available estimates, including those for the current month, in developing seasonal factors. Currently, the CES program projects seasonal factors once a year during the annual benchmark process.
Questions regarding the revised employment estimates should be directed to your local labor market analyst."
"Erie County, like much of New York State, continues to experience an outward domestic migration, meaning people born and raised here, or who have lived and worked here are continuing to leave (some 20,000 in Erie County since 2010).
However, those losses have been tempered by a significant rise in the number foreign immigrants coming into the region, whose ranks have offset the losses of those who have left for greener economic pastures.
While Western New York’s population slide of the late 20th and early 21st centuries appears to have stemmed, the slight (and statistically insignificant) gains being experienced in Erie County and in New York State as a whole, pale in comparison to areas in the south and southwestern portions of the country, which continue to see significant population growth.
I believe those employment figures maybe too optimistic. With "flatline" population figures, where are all these jobs in health and education? If they are adding many new teachers and other employees and there are no additional students, who is paying their salaries? The tax base is shrinking as foreign immigrants are most likely not paying the same amount of income taxes as those leaving, something has to give. Its great to have more jobs but someone besides the taxpayers has to fund them.
