I doubt it, Newark is going to be forced into gentrification (already started) as living in Hoboken,Jersey City or New York City is to expensive while Newark is dirt cheap and is the hub for mass transit. With the success of Newark, Cory Booker will reap the rewards.
The last thing any politician should do in NJ is allude to the fact that the public workers unions may have contributed to NJ's fiscal mess.
They hold a lot of power when it comes to getting elected.
The time is now. The corruption has become overwhelming. The cost of living is incredible, and now we are faced to pay more to go to work (tolls) to pay for the corruption in the Government.
My wife and I are heading south. Good bye Jersey winters and the rest of the crap that we have to put up with in this state.
Who is on the same page?
Good for you! I left 4 years ago to a move down here to Northern Florida. Florida is not perfect either, but it is a cheaper way of life. While Jersey had that long winter, it was 70's here and sunny. No rain and beautiful! I would never trade this beautiful weather for cold and snow ever again! Plus my dogs love being in and out of the house all year round! Everything is soooo green here! When I land at Newark Airport all I see is grey and brown.....nope, not for me anymore! I do miss my family, friends, diners, restaurants, deli's bakery's etc. but I can always go back to visit.
We will be going to Greer SC in a few months. The crooked politicians have driven us out of N.J. How is Corzine going to pay all of the teachers and State workers pensions? Not with my money.
I can't live in a state where the Gov. is in bed (or affraid) of the unions.
My wife and I will be moving to Greenville S.C. The town and area are beautiful; the weather is moderate (near the mountains); and the area is full of northerners. I can't afford the taxes in NJ.
Growing slower? It already outgrew, its contracting now at an accelerating rate LOL and the state gov't has no plans to fix the budget except for raising taxes on the very people that can up and leave NJ or would stick around to open more businesses
Stay in school some more.
Lol at the Essex county job fair. Did you catch the part at the end where one of the job seekers says that one recruiter liked him because "he was actually well dressed". The people there are not exactly the cream of the crop. As for creating a business, NJ's business environment does suck but starting a business here is doable.
I think your problem is you see a negative trend and extrapolate it to overblown conclusions. And, again, it sounds like moving would be the best decision for you, but saying the NJ economy is doomed is just silly.

Considering they are from NJIT, Rutgers Newark and UMDNJ I would argue otherwise.
