It doesn't seem like a lot, but there is a lot to take into consideration.

-Syracuse jumped 121 spots from last year.
-Syracuse outranks Rochester, Buffalo, and the Capital Region.

Actually, that's not too bad considering there are 336 metro areas in the US. Ithaca was 90th, which was the highest for any metro in the state btw. NYC was 95th overall. Syracuse was third as far as NY State metros go.

Another observation: Syracuse ranked 38 out of 97 midsized metro areas which is impressive considering these communities have historically experienced strong job and population growth so far this decade. Syracuse beat college boomtown Madison, WI and surpassed New Haven, CT, Colorado Springs, Grand Rapids, Albany, Boise, Poughkeepsie, and Central North Carolina's Triad Region (Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point)

Syracuse landing twelve spots ahead of Albany is particuarly impressive considering the Capital District (a.k.a Tech Valley) has received more than $2 billion in state funding (not including the AMD Project in Malta) over the last 10 years for high tech initiatives which have successfully attracted tech companies and cultivated startups in the field of nanotechnology.

Albany is the only large upstate metro area to register year-to-year population growth in all of its counties since 2000. Fast growing Saratoga County has attracted many affluent and well educated tech industry professionals from places like CA, TX, NC, and MA as well as many transplants from the NYC area. Even older suburbs in built-out areas of Albany County like Delmar, Loudonville, Colonie, Bethlehem, Guilderland, Menands, and Latham have managed to increase in population with significant gains in median household income. Meanwhile similar post WW2 suburbs in Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse continue to stagnate and decline. Albany's poor showing is particuarly interesting as there have been few if any mass layoffs in the Capital District since the beginning of the recession and the region's bloated government job sector has yet to be fully impacted from proposed cuts at the state level.

Which could mean that the private sector could be a big force in job growth not only in Syracuse, but nationwide. Places like Sensis, Syracuse Research, Anaren, Syracuse University and hospitals like Crouse-Irving and St. Joseph's are good examples of this in the area. All are Syracuse based and are major employers in the area. I don't believe any of them are looking to leave the area either. So, that could be the key.

This is why there needs to be more business focused education in schools, in my opinion. Like we've been talking about magnet schools in the city of Syracuse. Showing a small business model would be good for students at an early age, like in a magnet elementary school. You could also implentment such a model on the Jr. High/Middle School and High School level as well. So, not only would trades and skills education be great for the city, like the new Central Tech is supposed to have, but also the small business model would be great throughout all levels of education in the city. Hence, another reason for more High schools in the city or ones with unique and specific focuses.

I believe the same for economic educaiton as well.
