Fake News? Start-Up NY says it doubled job creation from 2015 to 2016

[Madmallard]

Seven-hundred fifty-seven jobs were added last year under the Start-Up NY program, more than double the number of jobs created in 2015, according to a report released Monday by Empire State Development, which administers the program.

In total, 1,135 jobs have been created since the program’s inception in 2014. Those jobs have paid out $95.7 million in wages, according to ESD.

Start-Up NY offers businesses the ability to operate tax free for 10 years if they set up shop in a Start-Up zone paired with eligible universities and colleges.

“With START-UP NY, we are taking advantage of some of New York’s greatest assets – our world-class higher education system and human capital – to generate 21st century economic opportunities for all New Yorkers,” ESD President and CEO Howard Zemsky wrote in his intro to the report.

Start-Up has been roundly criticized by some in the public and in the state Legislature.

Doubling such small numbers is completely meaningless.
"Look, we created two whole jobs this year! We only did one last year!"

When the media lies it's fake news, when the gubbermint lies it's propaganda. See the difference?

When they both lie it's a conspiracy, better known as SSDD.
