Worse still - New York is dead last among 50 states for economic recovery from covid. With NYC supposedly being the global center of business and finance. Vacant storefronts are everywhere and I don't see it getting better anytime soon. Reminds me too much of the 1980s.
I'm done. Packing it up and getting out in 2 months.
- addicted 5y agoThis is not even true. New York is not dead last in recovery. It’s definitely in the top half of not better. And to the extent the NYC economy has been damaged it’s entirely because NYC faced the brunt of COVID in the beginning snd because a larger part of its economy than many others is dependent on tourism and service industries that were most affected by Covid.
- busterarm 5y agoThere's multiple reports and studies on this in the last month that put New York either in dead last or second to last (after Michigan). If you look at CNN's report, New York is doing the worst in every single metric where they compare states against each other: https://www.cnn.com/business/us-economic-recovery-coronavirus https://www.cnn.com/business/us-economic-recovery-coronaviru... TOP Agency, who specialize in marketing data, put out this report putting NY second to last: https://topagency.com/report/pandemic-recovery/ https://topagency.com/report/pandemic-recovery/ Both get their data from different places and corroborate each others' findings. I not only have data, but I live here and have been traveling the US all year. You can see this plainly with your eyeballs. The state of NY's economy is complete shit.
