Staten Island (NY) question

This question came up yesterday when leaving NY. What % of people living on Staten Island (working full time) leave Staten Island to work? Is there anyplace that has such information?

I’d suggest two places to start – you might get lucky with a phone call or two and save yourself a huge hassle searching the net or the library.

  1. The Staten Island Advance. This is the kind of thing that the person in charge of their library/archive probably knows right off the bat.

  2. The SI Borough President’s office. Again, someone there probably has the figure at their fingertips.

The trick, of course, is getting connected to the “right” person without being thwarted by indifferent receptionists and “go-away” artists.

Good luck!
