It's interesting you mention healthcare /education as our largest employers. I was waiting for someone to say that. Do you also know what the largest employers are in Detroit and Cleveland.? Healthcare and Education. Why? it's because those sectors CAN'T leave. A city always needs schools and hospitals even if the entire population is on social assistance. These sectors have risen to the top because the former top private employers have shrunk or disappeared.

Poorest big cities in the US

  1. Detroit (top employers: healthcare and education)
  2. Cleveland (top employers: healthcare and education)
  3. Buffalo

19% of our population lives in poverty. That's 117,000 persons

A fine city to raise a child (in poverty)

You mean the Innovation Park that has taken 5 years so far and has done very little more then steal downtown tenants?
