How federal funding cuts are impacting each NYS county | Cornell Chronicle

"An interactive mapping tool developed by ILR School researchers enables policymakers and the public to see how billions in reduced federal funding are impacting jobs and spending in each New York county - and to track how those trends shift over time. Analysis by the ILR Buffalo Co-Lab shows that in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, federal funding to the Empire State decreased by nearly $16 billion compared to the prior fiscal year. Between last December and March, the state shed nearly 121,000 jobs, including 1,600 federal jobs."

"Outside New York City, where New York and Queens counties led statewide job losses in that timeframe, the counties hit hardest were Suffolk, Erie, Nassau and Westchester, followed by Onondaga, Monroe, Orange and Albany."

""Preliminary results are sobering," said Cathy Creighton, director of the Co-Lab, during a livestreamed event launching the initiative on Oct. 28 at Buffalo State University. "It shows a loss of billions of dollars in federal funding to New York state via losses to grant funding, contract funding and job losses.""

""The dashboard functions somewhat like an early detection system for identifying growth, contraction and/or stability in jobs as the new federal economic agenda continues to take shape," Weaver said."

An interactive ILR School mapping tool shows how large reductions in federal funding are affecting jobs and spending in every New York county and allows trend tracking over time. ILR Buffalo Co-Lab analysis finds nearly $16 billion less federal funding in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 and a loss of about 121,000 jobs between December and March, including roughly 1,600 federal positions. The hardest-hit counties outside New York City include Suffolk, Erie, Nassau and Westchester, with Onondaga, Monroe, Orange and Albany also impacted. The map will be updated with new federal data and highlights cuts to grant and contract funding, including an $8.2 billion decline in contract spending compared to FY 2024, while linking trends to recent federal policy changes such as tariffs, budget cuts, layoffs, tax cuts and deregulation.
