The 1999 data below just
demonstrates what we have been saying all along:
1. Upstate is an economic disaster
a) Our total workforce is stagnant
b) Our Unemployment is growing (Up 9,400 in 1999!)
c) In both the US and NYS total workforce is growing
d) In both the US and NYS total Unemployment is declining
2. We must change what's not working for us
3. Downstate is doing much better and has little reason to change
4. Downstate has all the votes and all the political power
5. It's time to form our own state (51st) made up of 40+ counties
6. We must immediately begin to re-build our
economy
