Serious for a Change - Jobs

[Inspector-Gadget]

The Lockheed Martin Company recently announced that it will soon hire 500 (Yes, five hundred!) engineers. Those engineers will be employed in the area of Syracuse, NY.

Rather than my expounding at length in an attempt to explain all this, if interested, go here:

http://money.cnn.com/services/tickerheadlines/prn/phf001.P1.12172004111517.01711.htm

The hyper-links near the bottom of the web page linked above will guide you to where you need to go to learn about applying for a job with Lockheed Martin.

Although unstated in the web article, it is a safe bet that 500 engineers will eventually require a small army of those with expertise in the engineering support disciplines.

being very serious... taxes are terrible here... water is terrible... electric is bad anywhere... cable is terrible... again, taxes are terrible... sales tax, property tax, any tax... we have to pay to have our trash taken away...

what are all of your sales tax rates?

mine is 8.25... the other two highest areas are louisiana and tennessee according to averages

Snitty you'd better move to a commune dude! LOL You pay for your trash to be taken away ANYWHERE and all utilities are high. Life in rural MD is just as bad, our choices for providers are limited so we get gouged from all sides AND wages are not high.

Our sales tax is 5%. Property taxes are high, we also pay a county tax at years end and my county is one of the highest in all of the counties around me.

Re: RE: Where

Salaries for the Lockheed Martin positions were not stated in the web article that I linked above, but the salary range was stated in a Syracuse newspaper article. The annual salary range is from 60k to hundreds of k.

Snitty, you made valid points, but all things considered, to include quality of life issues (for whatever arbitrary dollar figure one might assign to those), central NY is a good place to live and grow a family.

One of our big advantages is the cost of housing. Compare central New York housing prices with similar housing around the country. That exercise might be an eye-opener.

Compare, also, upstate NY to the state of Massachusetts. Mass is another great place to live, but Mass taxes are extremely high. That, of course, is primarily due to the necessity for the Mass taxpayers to support the annual dredging all Massachusetts waterways to keep them clear of Senator Kennedy’s old cars. :twisted:

But that is another story. {{Snicker}} :lol:

Seriously, a lot of this sort of stuff evens out when all things are factored into the cost-quality of living equation. It wasn’t my purpose to open a debate about central NY versus any other area. There are, to be sure, great places to live all over the USA.

The purpose of my starting post was to let people know that we have JOBS! High Salary JOBS!

Those interested and qualified need only to apply.

What's the shipping price for snow? I'd like to have 296290.74 cubic yards sent to Central New Jersey so I can ride my jeep AND my snowmobile. 8) :roll:

Thanks LJF! Somewhere out there, a Jeepz-ster might be unemployed or underemployed. If I can play some small part in correcting such a situation at the cost of a few minutes of typing – why not? A “win-win” situation if ever I saw one.

Lady, New York is a beautiful state. It is has been my experience that people unfamiliar with New York State sometimes have a mental image of the state as a larger version of New York City. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Hard winters, to be sure. The flip-side is our glorious summers, without the oppressive heat of the deep South.
