Rochester is finally recovering from the damage inflicted by Kodak and Xerox both suffering dramatic downsizing. Their housing market is expected to be a top performer the next few years. I've been working with a number of high-tech companies in upstate NY, many are doing quite well.
A big problem with the unemployment situation is people who don't (or can't) retrain or relocate to find employment.
Right now we have a domestic workforce misaligned with the needs of global industry.
