Certainly an underlying long term decline in manufacturing. But:Much lesser percentage-wise population decline. No dependence on a single manufacturing industry. Ongoing income from tourism, agriculture, universities, and second-home-owners (in central NY). Not the huge concentration of poverty and associated crime. Less demarcation between inner city in disastrous shape and suburbs fairly prosperous. More mobility - more of the poor have cars which let them get to suburban jobs. Probably more state aid and state employment per capita (I'm guessing at this one). Employment opportunities nearly in PA gas fields (and in NY if NY ever adopts regulations similar to those in PA). |
