Rochesterâs Survival Lessons
Keywords:
Tags:
Duncan Moore of the University of Rochester points out what makes Pittsburgh, San Diego and Rochester different from Detroit, Cleveland and Fresno. The investment in the local community, large universities and the research money they bring in, the small businesses using advanced technologies and connecting with the universities, have helped these communities thrive even when a dominant employer or a dominant business has suffered decline. In Detroit's case it is also learning some of these lessons- the areas around Detroit such as Dearborn are recovering with the recovery of Ford Motor Company, and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is a major research hub with large federal funding, the Fiat engineered recovery at Chrysler is also giving new life to the region.

Rochester, New York, and the adjustment from working for large corporations to working for small business
12/24/2011
The transformation of Rochester from a corporate town with employers Xerox, Kodak and Bausch and Lomb, to a town with small business employers, as the large corporations have drastically downsized. Unemployment is still lower than the national average but incomes lag far behind the average for New York and also lag behind the national average. Unemployment is higher in the inner city and some parts of neighborhoods face urban blight. Startups are providing new employment for former Kodak engineers who live in the suburbs of Pittsfield and Brighton.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
