Long Island Occupation Trends
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The continual decline in manufacturing jobs is one trend of decades ago that has not ended, particularly in Long Island, New York, with its displaced aero-space industry and its lowest numbers of people employed in manufacturing in three decades. However, there is good new for many other occupations in the Long Island region. It appears that occupational trends are highly dependent upon region, because many regions house a monopoly on industry that makes them able to offer more opportunities in some occupations over others. The heavily condensed computer-technology industry in the Northwest is one prime example of this phenomenon. Further, it appears there are national trends superimposed on regional ones that affect which opportunities are where, for example “only about 35% of the companies in the Northeast are planning to add jobs…[compared to]…46%” in the Northwest, Far West, and Southwest (Hube, 1996: 2).In other words, there are not only regional trends that might be called microeconomic trends, but there are also macroeconomic trends that are superimposed over them.

Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) is one such example and others include devices that allow doctors to detect breast cancer from computerized mammography technology. As a tandem to medical imagining, health information companies have been rapidly growing across the Long Island areas. These companies help doctors keep track of medical records via computer, records that can be retrieved from hospitals, pharmacies, doctor’s offices and patient homes. Many of the companies in this dual industry with promise have been affected by the national and international trend of producing items locally that are for global sale. One company that takes full advantage of this strategy is known as Bennett X-Ray Technologies, “Bennett personifies the trend for companies to produce locally and sell globally.
