Mr. Restivo said that several hundred of the applications came from New York City residents, and 23 New Yorkers were hired. He said those workers will commute each day to New Jersey from as far away as the Bronx, and that the average wage for employees will be about $10.50 an hour.

A developer recently canceled an agreement with Wal-Mart for a site in New York City under pressure from unions and elected officials, so now New Jersey gets the development and the jobs -- and even hires a number of New Yorkers to fill those jobs. I'm guessing that at least 25% of the people who shop at this Wal-Mart will be New Yorkers, too.

In case anyone out there is wondering how a corrupt sh!t-hole like New Jersey can remain viable, it's important to remember that being located across the river from two of the most fouled-up places in North America (New York City and Philadelphia) sure helps.

Nope, I think Newark NJ beats out Philly by a little bit.

You're right for years New Yorkers have come to NJ to shop because of the taxes in NYC. Let them come, more taxes for NJ.
