No one can't even name company's were the specific's of were these supposedly 8,000 new jobs are, just what I though, same old same old just like they have been saying since I was born, more WNY Government lies & false stats. Their not fooling any educated person with their propaganda & false stats.
It takes a simple search of jobs that fit the information RocketSci provided. Keep in mind that it is for the metro and this would include companies throughout the area.

When you did that simple search what did you find out?

Just to add to this, look up Panasonic, Moog, ITT Enidine, Tesla, HSBC, M&T Bank, Rich Products, Citi, Delaware North, New Era Cap, BlueCross/BlueShield, Liberty Mutual and Travelers, among others, as companies with openings.
And per postings about Tops closing some stores, maybe its because of competition - new stores opened in the Buffalo area in the last couple of years along with regular completion (Aldi, Wegmans, Kmart, Walmart, etc):
New Stores/locations:
Whole Foods
Price Rite
Trader Joes
Asia Market
Lexington Coop
Multiple new "Dollar" Stores (that also sell food)
The jobs created by all of the above opening most certainly offset any reductions in Tops.
... were the specific's of were these supposedly 8,000 new jobs are
I've never seen "specifics" written as a possessive - it must be a Buffalo thing
I suppose you mean "where" the jobs are, not where they "were" - where they "were" is that they did not exist until the last year - where they are is presently employing thousands of people today.

That's what's called an incomplete thought.

Their, I mean, they're not fooling an educated person like yourself, apparently. :roll eyes:
The Buffalo Niagara unemployment rate held steady at 5.1 percent in April.
While the number of people who were looking for a job but couldn’t find one is at its second-lowest level for any April since 2001, the unemployment rate isn’t dropping because the region’s aging population is causing the pool of available workers to shrink.
So while the number of unemployed people fell by 300 last month – a statistically insignificant decline – the local labor pool shrunk by a little more than 1 percent, or 5,500 people, as older workers retired and dropped out of the region’s workforce.
The stable unemployment rate also runs contrary to a separate report last week from the Labor Department showing that the region added jobs at a 1.3 percent annualized pace during April – a finding that normally would be associated with declining unemployment.
The two sets of job data, however, are compiled from different surveys.
While there are plenty of “help wanted” signs on display at local businesses, that isn’t pushing the Buffalo Niagara unemployment rate any lower.
The local jobless rate during April held steady for the second time in the last four months – it rose during the other two – and is tied for its highest rate for any April since 2015.
While hiring has been steady, the region’s labor pool shrinks to its lowest level since at least 1990. The ranks of the unemployed fell by 300 people during April, while 5,400 fewer people held jobs than during April 2017.
The number of people holding jobs during April fell by 1 percent to a more than 28-year low as the region’s labor force continues to get smaller. At the same time, the number of unemployed people is at its second-lowest level for any April since 2007.
Unemployment across the Buffalo Niagara region is higher than it is across most of New York and the rest of the country.
The region’s jobless rate is at least a percentage point higher than both the statewide and national averages. Among the state’s 15 biggest metro areas, the Buffalo Niagara unemployment rate ranks as the 10th highest, topping only Binghamton, Elmira, Glens Falls, Utica and Watertown.
