Hudson Valley Job-Count
2003-2012
Over the 10-year period ending in 2012, private-sector job creation in the Hudson Valley
grew at an annualized rate of less than two tenths of one percent (0.19 percent). Nearby regions
fared better with the New York City Region posting the highest rate of growth at 1.24 percent
followed by the Long Island and Capital regions at 0.36 percent and 0.29 percent, respectively.
Statewide, private-sector job creation grew at an annualized rate of 0.61 percent per year. Across
the state, the annual rate of job creation ranged from a high of 2.01 percent in Kings County
(New York City Region) to a low of -2.03 percent in Hamilton County. Overall, ten counties
reported private-sector job growth greater than 1 percent per annum while a little more than forty
percent of all counties ( 25 counties) reported zero to negative job growth rates.
Within the region, Orange County witness the strongest job growth at 0.86 percent per
annum, followed by Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties at 0.62 percent, 0.47 percent,
and 0.21 percent, respectively. Job growth in Sullivan County was not significantly different
from zero, while both Dutchess (-0.38 percent) and Ulster (-0.98 percent) counties witnessed
negative job growth rates.
Relative to the Statewide ranks; Orange County ranked 17th, Rockland County ranked
21st, Westchester County ranked 29th, Sullivan County ranked 35th, Dutchess County ranked 49th
and Ulster County ranked 59th.
Over the same 10-year period, public-sector job creation in the Hudson Valley contracted
at an annualized rate of -0.64 percent compared to a -0.39 percent contraction statewide. Nearby
regions—New York City, Long Island and Capital—posted similar results. Across the region,
public sector job growth, ranged from a high of 0.16 percent in Rockland County, –the only
positive growth rate in the region– to a low of -0.94 percent in Westchester County. Public sector
jobs fell at an annualized rate of -0.02 percent in Putnam County, -0.47 percent in Orange
County, -0.67 percent in Sullivan County, -0.74 percent in Ulster County and -0.79 percent in
Dutchess County. Statewide, of the seventeen counties that posted positive growth in the public–
sector job count only three counties reported growth rates in excess of one percent.
Anemic job growth in both the private and public sectors has placed downward pressure
on private sector wages in general, and wage growth in particular. Over the 10-year period,
average private-sector wages in the Hudson Valley grew at an annualized rate of 2.81 percent
consistent with both the Long Island Region (2.81 percent) and the Capital Region (2.80
percent), but significantly less than the 3.37 percent rate of growth in the New York City Region.
Statewide, average wage growth mirrored the New York City region growing 3.27 percent per
annum.
Across the state, the annual rate of wage growth in the private sector ranged from a high
of 4.48 percent in Orleans County to a low of 1.00 percent in Niagara County. Overall, two
counties—3.23 percent of all counties—reported wage growth in excess of 4 percent per annum;
17 counties—27.42 percent of all counties—reported wage growth between 4 and 3 percent
while 43 counties—69.35 percent of all counties—reported private-sector wage growth of less
than 3 percent per year. Relative to the state, Westchester County ranked 19th (3.01 percent),
followed by Rockland County ranked 21th (2.94 percent), Sullivan County ranked 35th (2.62
percent), Ulster County ranked 36th (2.62 percent), Putnam County ranked 50th (2.40 percent)
and Orange County ranked 54th (2.26 percent). Dutchess County reported the lowest rank at 55th
(2.24 percent).
The private-sector job-count in the Hudson Valley continues to be dominated by four
sectors—health care and social assistance, retail trade, accommodation and food services and
manufacturing. Since 2003, the job-count in these four sectors has expanded from 49.86 percent
of all private sector jobs in 2003 to 51.43 percent in 2012; an increase of 1.57 percentage points.
Over the period, the region has witnessed job growth in accommodation and food services (1.75
percent per annum) and health care and social assistance (1.63 percent per annum) and a
widespread contraction in manufacturing (-3.23 percent per annum). The net result is a
significant shift away from high-wage jobs– typically found in the manufacturing sector– in
favor of jobs that on average pay wages below the overall average private-sector wage (county
specific). In 2003, manufacturing accounted for 18.10 percent of all jobs provided by the topfour employers (9.03 percent of the total private sector job-count); in 2012 this number had
dropped to 12.84 percent (6.60 percent of the total private sector job-count). Over the same
period, the share of jobs provided by accommodation and food services and health care and
social assistance has increased from 15.29 percent and 35.23 percent in 2003 to 17.05 percent
and 38.83 percent in 2012, respectively. The share held by the retail trade has remained relatively
stable at 31.00 percent.
The dominance of health care and social assistance, retail trade, accommodation and food
services and manufacturing is also evident on the county level. Every county in the region, with
the exception of Westchester secures at least 50.00 percent of all private-sector jobs from these
four sectors. And in every county, with the exception of Westchester and Putnam1, health care
and social assistance, retail trade, accommodation and food services and manufacturing are the
top-four private sector employers.
Over the period, the job-count in accommodation and food services grew in Westchester
(3.08 percent), Putnam (2.75 percent), Rockland (2.45 percent), Dutchess (1.60 percent) and
Orange (0.58 percent) and fell in Ulster ( -0.11 percent) and Sullivan (-4.22 percent). The jobcount in health care and social assistance expanded across the region, growing at an annualized
rate of 2.82 percent in Sullivan, 2.34 percent in Orange, 1.78 percent in Rockland, 1.60 percent
in Dutchess, 1.47 percent in Putnam, 1.45 percent in Westchester and 0.56 percent in Ulster. As
of 2012, health care and social assistance was the top job provider in every county in the region,
with the exception of Orange County where the sector ranked second behind retail trade. Job
growth in the manufacturing sector fell in Ulster (-4.73 percent per annum), Dutchess (-4.69
1
In Westchester, manufacturing was the 11th most important private sector employer, while professional and
technical services was 3rd; in Putnam County manufacturing was the 5th most important private sector employer
while construction ranked 3rd
percent), Westchester (-4.00 percent) and Rockland (-2.05 percent) and expanded in Sullivan and
Putnam at 3.82 percent and 0.77 percent, respectively. In spite of the decade long contraction in
the manufacturing sector, manufacturing is the third most important employer in Dutchess
County at 11.80% of all private sector jobs and Rockland County at 9.88 percent.
For current (2011-2012) county level data please examine the body of the report.
Dutchess County
2011-2012
In the year 2011, Dutchess County accounted for 12.75 percent of all jobs in the Hudson Valley
and 1.30 percent of all jobs in New York State. Year over year, the job count fell from 110,154
in 2010 to 110,135 in 2011 while the average annual (all-industry) wage increased from
$47,676 to $48,785. Overall, the average annual private-sector wage ($47,345) was 90.13
percent of the average annual private-sector wage in the Hudson Valley ($52,530), 75.06
percent of the average annual private-sector wage in New York State ($63,077) and 86.49
percent of the average annual public-sector wage ($54,742). For the period, the private sector
accounted for 81.34 percent (89,274) of all jobs in 2012, up from 80.52 percent (88,666) in
2011.
Private-Sector Job Count Ranked by Number of Jobs
Private-sector employment (job count) continues to be dominated by health care and social
assistance, retail trade, manufacturing and accommodation and food services. Collectively,
these account for 57.21 percent (51,076) of all private-sector jobs in 2012 compared to 57.10
