New York’s Economy
This time we'll talk about the state of New York in the USA. A report by the Fiscal 5
Policy Institute, which is an economic think-tank or committee that generally focuses
on issues that affect the quality of life and economic well-being 6 of New York workers,
claims that although America as a nation has enjoyed many years of record-setting
economic expansion, the same cannot be said about the state of New York. Although
median incomes for America as a whold. This led to very little improvement in the
workers' standards of living from where they were in the last ten or even twenty years
ago. The new analysis by the Fiscal Policy Institute also suggests that there are severe
regional differences in New York's ten regions. Case in point, the Upstate economy
has not benefited at all from America's booming times. In fact, their economy has
been relatively 7 sluggish 8. At the same time,the Downstate region's economic growth
hinges on Wall Street. and many New Yorkers living in the city's suburbs are still
struggling. Looking at government date, we can see that although New York enjoys
many resources, these resources do not seem to benefit the state by means of pay or
living conditions for New York workers during economic good or bad times in
America. Using this same date, we can conclude that in order for all New Yorkers to
benefit from the economy , we cannot rely just on grouth. Instead, we nne to analyze 9
the growth and find out how it affects not only the workers, but also their families
across the entire state. Clearly , the state must take some responsibility and step in
ande help families that are not benefiting from a growing economy.
