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.
