So roughly 9,000 by my math, not counting the extra lines which I’ll arbitrarily declare to be 10%, resulting in 8,000 + employees.

Hey Tom, I figured you would be better at this game…
You’ll have to do some math, jobs are broken out by line item. So detail pay for cops, for example, is another line.

Providence is a Capitol city, has a real waterfront area and it’s pols/gangsters actually know how to turn a profit while setting up their shady deals. Worcester has none of those three ingredients. The greatest contribution to real, sustained development that the City gov’t could make is to immediately halt all of their half-assed “master plans” and to recommit to an ECONOMIC plan, not a bunch of counter-productive social engineering boondoggles that try to be all things to all people.

Question: How do I find out how many employees the City of Worcester has? I tried a few websites and got nada.

Interesting enough Gordon…some time ago I was watching Central Mass Chronicles and this same observation about the biz that is happening on Main South was mentioned..but not mentioned within the general population when discussing Main Street..

I dine at One Love Cafe often as well as Maria’s and I go to Gilreins for a pop or two all the time..just had One Love Cafe cater a reggae festival I promoted on the Charles River last month..I have no problem mingling with folks that don’t look like me:>)

Gordon;

I gave Mick O’Brien a B+ on my blog a month back..go read it!

Good pick John..I believe one of the first things Buddy Cianci did was move downtown and at a time when it was nothing to speak of..imagine if Mick O’Brien moved his family to downtown..if most of our leaders lived in “the city” including our state and federal ones…I think Clark instituted a program that awarded employees, professors who lived in Main South.

I have stated numerous times that it is going to be very hard to change the culture within the urban core unless our leaders or a good percentage of them live within it.

I think I know who Bill Randall is, it’s sad to read something like that! But I think Urban centers are going to see a revival SOON! And I think the City Manager and the City Council have positioned the City well to take advantage of this revival, people are soon going to see the wisdom in living and starting their business’ in Cities and Worcester in particular. Hang on!

I was talking to the owner of a business on the 800 bloc of Main St. I says jeez business must be tough with economy the way it is? He says wrong! I did 1,500 costumers yesterday! I was amazed but come to think of it, you see in Main South what you don’t see Downtown after 5:30 PEOPLE they might not look like white middle class suburbanites but a customer by another name still sounds the same! “WORCESTER IS ON THE MOVE”

I said you ALMOST sounded racist. Paulie!
