Erie County is just starting to feel the affects of the 2 Fleckinger massive Warehouse's that just closed and and the hundreds that just lost their jobs in Cheektowaga & Lancaster. Now hundreds more will soon be out of jobs too with the closings of Great Batch in Clarence, MGS Plant on Walden Ave in Cheektowaga
coming in March and Now the Caire Inc Plant in Amherst is closing and moving a another 142 jobs to brand new plant in Georgia by Nov 1
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.

Great Batch is also moving most of their white collar staff to thier new HQ in Frisco TX
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.
There are more and none identify Buffalo, that is why I call bull on the article and what this local magazine comes up with.
