By Howard B. Owens

If you are of the camp that thinks GCEDC is doing a good job... then how do you reconcile this recent info?

Some positive job numbers for Buffalo/Niagara and the Rochester region.

Rochester gained 9200 new private sector jobs over the last 12 month period ending in June. That's the second highest among the state's metro areas.

New Employment numbers show the Buffalo and Niagara areas gained 4300 jobs in the last year, almost a one percent annual growth rate.

Genesee County was not so fortunate. The figures show Genesee County lost jobs at a rate of point-8 percent annual rate.
