NEW 'JUST THE FACTS' SHOWS NEW YORK LEADS
MOST STATES IN
BUSINESS COST
ALBANY—Businesses in New York
labor under heavier cost burdens than those in most competing
states, from business
taxes and workers' compensation to wages and energy costs,
a new "Just The Facts" compilation by the Public
Policy Institute of New York State shows.
The Institute, the
research affiliate of The Business Council of New York State,
published the latest on-line installment
of Just The Facts: Key Economic and Social Indicators for New
York State, available here.
The report includes 39 tables comparing the cost of major business
expenses, along with other indicators, in New York and the
other states.
As Governor Pataki and the Legislature consider
several major proposals to reduce business taxes, Just The
Facts shows that
New York's business-tax burden is rated the worst in the country
by the independent, Washington-based Tax Foundation. By another
measure, total business taxes as a proportion of private-sector
economic activity, New York's business taxes are 10th-highest
in the country and 21 percent above the national average.
