NY may lose 100K+ good jobs by ‘15

It’s like the 2008 financial ꦦmeltdown all over agaiꦉn — only worse.

New York state will lose hundreds of thousands of well-paid ♔back-office, finance, tech and manufacturing jobs over the next 48 months, according to new data reviewed by The Post.

But instead of Wall Street in free-fall, this job loss is caused b▨y slow growth💧, labor-saving technology and lower-cost competitors overseas and out of state.

New York has recovered all the jobs it lost during the Great Recession. But these replacements are lower-paying jobs jꦉust above minimum wage and with reduced benefits, analysts say.

“I know one very profitable company in New York 𝔉that’s not replacing staff once employees quit or retire,” Honorio Padrón, principal at The Hackett Group, a global strategic advisory firm, t🐽old The Post.

He’s describing a Fortune 500 company, but he declined to name it. And, he says, it’s one of ma🔴ny shipping scores of back-office jobs overs🏅eas.

“These employees won’t be replaced in New York, because of the hi🌱gh costs of doing business here,” added P♛adrón. The pay for these local jobs averages nearly $80,000 annually, Padrón says.

New York is at the epicenter of a wider bloodbath — a staggering 1.85 million back-office jobs projected gone from North America from 2002 to 2017, hundreds of thousands of them in New York, according to new research by The Hackett Group. Blame it on offshoring and economic fundamentals like tepid growth and technological efficienci🍰es, it says.

The data make grim reading. New York state lost nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs in the five years through 2012. That’s a gut-wrenching drop of 16.9 percen𒅌t, compared with a national average of 14.1 percent, according to the Office of the Com🎀ptroller.

And since 2008, the state has shed a total 🤪of 182,000 middle- and higher-wage jobs paying as much as $70,000 a year and up, according to another ec🀅onomic analysis.

For the 12 months ended June 2013, manufacturing employment ros𒈔e modestly across the nation, but declined in New York by 3.6 percent year-over-year.

After one of the worst decades on record for manufacturing jobs — a record 294,00🐼0 jobs lost, or 39 percent of the total — the current decade looks like it may be a repeat disaster.

And IBM r🔯ecently said it was moving hundreds💫 of jobs from Rochester to Mexico.
