About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
It's always nice to see big corporations give back to the local community. This time, it's Verizon Wireless that is making nice with the residents of the Bronx. Up to 200 jobs are up for grabs tomorrow at a Verizon Wireless job fair in the Bronx. According to Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión, the job fair is yet another sign that the Bronx is experiencing a broad-based economic recovery:
"This partnership with Verizon Wireless is indicative of the optimism businesses have in the Bronx, and another great example of the unprecedented economic development that has been taking place in our borough in recent years. The Bronx has experienced the lowest unemployment rate in the last four years, and since the launch of the Bronx At Work program last year, over 20,000 Bronx residents have found jobs."

I've managed to save up roughly $70044 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
