A Look at the Counties: Spending on Improving Jobs
There are noteworthy differences by county on this issue. Residents of Sullivan County are the most dissatisfied with the amount of resources their community allocates toward improving jobs. 69% say not enough resources are being expended. More than six in ten residents of Columbia, Greene and Ulster Counties share this view as do a majority of Orange County residents.
In Dutchess County, just under half of all residents, 48%, thinks their community spends too little on improving jobs although a large proportion, 42%, thinks the level of funding is about right. Residents of Putnam County divide. 44% believe too little is being spent to improve jobs in the area, and 43% think local efforts are about right.
