Statement From Speaker Silver on Record Breaking NYS Job Growth


The State Labor Department's report that New York's economy added 29,600 jobs in January of this year, a record 17th consecutive month of private-sector employment growth in the state, not only signifies that the economic recovery is continuing, it attests to the leadership of Governor Cuomo and confirms the effectiveness of our collaborative efforts to establish - from Buffalo to Long Island - a job-creating, innovation-based, 21st Century economy.

I and my Assembly colleagues remain committed to working with the Administration and our colleagues in every level of government to ensure that this streak of private-sector job growth continues throughout the state and far into the future.

The Empire State is coming back, and this is good news for all New Yorkers.
