Title I-
Early Out Total- 992
Protected: 909
Not Protected: 83
SIS- 39
And counting.......................
Doesnt look like the early Outs are going to cover the projected RIF for Title I.
Well then again they've announced RIFs for T-I on an annual basis since at least 2008 and the only one that really came was as a result of MCI closing, but that really didnt have any impact as far as bump and rolls.
For those who may consider bumping into NY if there is a furlough they may want to try and get a hold of Newsdays Sunday LI Business section from Sept 23.
Rental prices are on the rise. the vacancy rate on Long Island is only 2.1%. The median cost for rent and utilities is $1447 according to the article but a look at current online listings put it at $2000/month in Nassau county for an apartment rental and $1550 in Suffolk. Home rentals were $3375/month in Nassau and $2200 in Suffolk.
Two years ago during the upgrade fisaco a lot of the people could not find/afford housing then, when things were better for renters, its only gotten worse.
