In last weeks Business First is a list of THE WORLDS TOP 100 ECONOMIC POWERS.
Buffalo is ranked 99th at $56.1 billion in Gross product.
Note: Gross product is the annual output of goods and services.
The top 9 are Nations and NYC(M) rounds out the top ten.
Yeah, and who creates Business First? Isn’t it a local rag? Sounds like propaganda to me…
tell that to all the college grads going south for work (myself included)
I hear you but, the source for the article is GLOBAL INSIGHT.
my company accounts for about $ 3 billion of that itself… so i believe it’s possible.
wow thats good to hear. I would like to see Buffalo have an economic rebirth
$3 billion locally?
Where do you work?
a porn shop… hahaha
In for $7.7 billion. 
It’s coming. It’s just going to be hard to recognize because there won’t be the manufacturing plants the size of small cities. It’s going to be small high tech manufacturing and knowledge work hidden inside small buildings and fiber optic cables.
Are you guys talking about local money?
Does Praxair do $7.7 billion locally?
^Nope. That was worldwide sales last year. Locally praxair does no manufacturing. In Tonawanda they do all the Engineering, R&D, Purchasing, remote monitoring of all their plants, and some other stuff. I have no idea what kind of numbers can be attributed to Tonawanda.
If you combine Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, and France it equals 9.5 trillion.
THE USA ALONE IS 11.7 trillion!!!
We topped another list recently as well…

I was trying to start a thread aboot good news, way to bring the room down guys.:biglaugh:
I’m pumped about it. We’re in the shitter, but we’ve got a highly diverse industrial economy and we’re still pumping out a ton of product. 20 years from now all you fuckers who are leaving are going to start coming back.
