Because people on social media sites are the best indicator. I looked into jobs while I was up there last month. You know, while I was actually there, where you haven't actually been in years and it seemed pretty robust, but hey, what do I know, I was only actually IN Buffalo, not reading facebook, twitter or instagram posts from disgruntled people that probably got fired for not doing their jobs.
I can't imagine construction or tourism jobs being down as winter approaches. Really odd......
