Often cited as ‘most productive’, our labor
force is available, affordable, and educated. Whether you are looking
for skilled labor or professional level employees, we can provide
them. The prime working-age population continues to increase, providing
an abundance of skilled workers, as well as professional, technical,
managerial and clerical personnel. A recent study of the underemployed in
the CNY area shows a significant additional pool of labor.
Onondaga County’s central position in the Syracuse - Auburn CSA and outstanding
network of highways allows for excellent commuting
patterns. In fact 19% of the county employees come from outside
Onondaga County, while only 6% leave the county for work. The average
commute is just over 19 minutes. See the complete details on the
CSA commuting patterns here.
