(Crain’s) — New York state’s job base grew at just one-tenth the national rate from 1993 to 2007, largely because more firms left the Empire State than moved here and because more local companies went out of business than were born, according to a report released Wednesday by the Empire Center for New York State Policy.
During that 15-year period, New York added 165,500 jobs, for a growth rate of 1.7%, according to the report by the conservative think tank, which draws on a newly-developed set of data generated from Dun & Bradstreet Information files.
