	Hevesi Report: Staten Island Continues to Grow Local Economy While Addressing Big City Issues, 3/16/05
		Staten Island’s economy has grown in recent years, in large part because it is insulated from the economic volatility experienced in other boroughs, State Comptroller Alan Hevesi said in a report released today that examines the state of economic development and the overall economy in Staten Island.
		Staten Island’s economy is focused on the local market, with 28.7 percent of the borough’s jobs in the health services and social assistance sector and 18 percent in retail trade.
		Charleston, Pleasant Plains, Prince’s Bay, Richmond Valley, Rossville, and Woodrow (10309) had the second-highest rate of population growth in Staten Island in the 1990s—nearly 46 percent—and nearly 38 percent of the area’s housing units were constructed during this period.

		Staten Island’s thriving yeshivas — including the co-ed Jewish Foundation School and the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, which has separate boys’ and girls’ campuses, and a high school, Tiferes Torah — have allowed the borough to avoid the pitfall of many Jewish communities: the loss of younger families who seek greener pastures for their children.
