For every $100 million spent in construction, it generates between 90 and 110 construction jobs. As highlighted with Empire Outlets and the New York Wheel, hundreds of North Shore residents were accepted into union apprenticeships programs and have been able to provide an improved standard of living for their families. We need developers to commit to hire contractors who, in turn, would hire local residents for jobs that pay good wages with health insurance, retirement security, and investments in training and education. Let's put Staten Islanders to work! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/live-work-spend
