A separate notice sent last week says Caire Inc. in Amherst will close next year. The layoff of 142 employees will begin February 10th and continue through November first.
The Commerce Drive facility makes respiratory products. Operations will move to Georgia.


When Buffalo's tallest building. the 38 floor One Seneca Place went bankrupt,
because it's been empty & vacant for years, tells you how really bad things are and when the Buffalo tallest building which is the The city's Icon is it's all empty, vacant and dark at night


When Key Bank Lease's expire in the Larkin building which they inherited when they purchased First Niagara they are moving 90% of the jobs to their Cleveland HQ's. Key Bank already moved over 100 high paying jobs to Cleveland.
Right, which is why it's important that the area attract different people who work in different industries especially as the thresholds for what jobs can be profitably automated grows ever lower.

Again, where are you getting all of this from?

Nevermind, this article has similar info, but it appears that they moved their HQ to Frisco 5 years ago: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biz...?client=safari

There appears to be some job openings at other area facilities: https://chp.tbe.taleo.net/chp04/ats/...EATBATCH&cws=1

Keep in mind that it is owned by the American City Business Journals. So, all of the local Business Journals will or should be viewed as such.

Which is the reason I try to avoid using a local publication to reference a national statistic.

Why? It is a publication on local Business information based in Charlotte and it isn't the only media outlet that has done articles on millennials moving Buffalo or other cities in the Great Lakes region. So, I don't know if I would be too hard on Buffalo Business First.

I don't know about Fake news(lol), but it does help to find the immediate source or to see if the information given is legitimate. I have actually found some information in mainstream local media that was "off". So, the people writing articles or doing news stories are human and can have incorrect information.

Great Batch still had some of it's HQ's people still Clarence and they are also closing
the plant down the street too which = 100's less jobs, less taxpayers, less people to shop in WNY Stores, and more Empty/Vacant Building's

Regional or local publications are the cheerleaders for their market, they serve, they find the most obscure statistic and blow it up.

This article from the Atlantic doesn't even show Buffalo: The 15 Most Popular Cities for Millennials (D.C. Is #1) - The Atlantic

This slide show from Forbes shows the top 25 cities guess who ain't on it: No. 1 New York, NY - pg.1

Business Insider same thing, top 25 guess who is missing: Best cities for millennials 2016 - Business Insider

There are more and none identify Buffalo, that is why I call bull on the article and what this local magazine comes up with.
