Author Topic: Proj. Union/Jobs in NYC Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-11-2004 03:05 PM                     Frank A few people have told me that. But live one block from work and the pubs, I go to are very close too. Having come to New York on vacations, I knew what the costs were. But when friends from California come out to visit, that have never been here. They talk about how high the cost of living is here.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-11-2004 03:09 PM                        Geeze Bill, where did you find such a cheap apartment. You must be in a sub basement. Go to the Bronx before you move to Brooklyn...at least you could root for the Yankees.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-11-2004 03:12 PM                     Bob It's in one of those water towers on top of my building.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Frank is welcome to come to Boston to see a real baseball team this summer.)  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-11-2004 03:23 PM                        Scott, Is that the team that lost to the Yankees last Sunday? Besides Bill wants to root for a winner. The Red Stockings will fall before August.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I guess I'm the only one who smiles each time I think about it. However I remember buying a "T" Shirt at the Canadian National Exposition in Toronto, with that saying and an extremely provocative gal on the front lifting her skirt. Circa 1955 and I wish I still had it. I think my mother probably threw it out. I may never, recover.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-12-2004 11:10 AM                        Well, Aaron, sorry to post even more bad news, but a CNN report came out today showing unemployment records -- New York ranked 4th from the top of the states with the worst unemployment, only bested by Washington, Michigan, Alaska and Oregon. New York has a 6.5% uemployment, whereas the country average is only 5.6 with your beloved Indiana coming in at an even 5%. South Dakota is at a low of only 2.9%. Now these are state-wide numbers and in states like NY which have very high density urban centers as well as very rural areas, the numbers may skew quite a bit off the norm between the two, so unemployment could even be higher in a labor-rich city like NY. Neighboring Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts have below average numbers at 4.7%, 5.5% and 5.6% respectively. But no matter how you cut it, it is still a bleak job market out there. And as this thread already points out, exhibition is not exactly banging down the doors of the newspaper's Want Ads departments to posts jobs for projectionists. In related news, the Loews/Cineplex is reportedly looking to sell off an undisclosed number of theatres with screens numbering 3000. Frank  |  IP: Logged
