45177 Jobs
The Mayor's “new jobs”
reporting is not a net job list. When enterprises like Staples close
their doors the employee loss is not calculated.
A better indicator of
quality job growth is in the monthly city income tax report. One
$50,000 new hire is worth more than several part time j0bs.
As of October 31st
income tax receipts for 2013 were around
$100,000 less than 2012.
The big hope is that in
2014 the Port Authority’s JUMP hangar project will produce the
promised quality jobs.
