So, New York State cutting government jobs and government workers going out West to find work is bad how, exactly, again?
A little off track, but I can't help it...
''I wasn't looking to move out West,'' said Matthews, 49. But she wanted a job that would put her policy experience to practical use. ''I didn't see any other opportunities in New York state.''
In related news, all 500,000 out of 500,000 unemployed in new york reported not being able to find a job that would put their "policy experience" to practical use.
Bush blamed; women, gays, minorities 100% of victims. Racism, sexism, homophobia and white evil suspected.

Coming soon to your state - NY attitude, NY liberal RAT politics, NY problems. California used to elect Republican governors, then the population doubled (mainly by migration) and we got the Gay Bay as a result. BOHICA!

Most of them probably went to China or India, to see if they could get their old jobs back.
(At the prevailing wage, of course.)
