Wondering about the trend of folks moving out of NYC into Saratoga County?

Saratoga County had relatively limited migration from the NYC area before the pandemic. Between January 2018 and February 2020, Saratoga had 230 total requests. Between March 2020 and January 2021, there were 987 total requests. March 2020 saw the most single-month requests for Saratoga County with 129 total requests. The rate of requests decreased steadily until December 2020 and January 2021, where there was another bump in requests.

US ECONOMY: JOBS
The U.S. labor market slowed in July, adding 1.8 million jobs after 4.8 million in June, as many states imposed or reimposed business shutdowns because of spiking coronavirus cases. The increase nevertheless pushed the unemployment rate down to 10.2% from 11.1% in June, the Labor Department said. July's payroll gains compared to initial jobless benefits claims of more than 1 million per week during the month — so far, the economy has recovered less than half the 13 million jobs lost since the pandemic took hold in February.

Leisure and hospitality, local government and retail led July's gains.
The gap in unemployment between Black and White Americans widened to 5.4% from 5.3% in June — it was at 2.7% in February. Source: LinkedIn Analyst
