Reading a New York lot
New York ranks 10th for warehousing jobs and 9th for establishments. It sits in the upper third of the fifty by warehousing jobs. The average warehouse employs about 66 people, against 82 across the fifty states. Smaller sites mean smaller stacks, so the count matters more than the size of the site.
New York has 1.1 food manufacturing jobs for every warehousing job, against 0.9 across the fifty states. Food plants carry more weight here than the warehouses beside them, so expect hygienic decks and rotated stock. Among the other industries counted here, pharmaceutical manufacturing (25,087 jobs) is 56 times the size of motor vehicle assembly (452).
Onondaga County holds 11.4% of New York's warehousing jobs, and the top 3 listed hold 28.1%. The jobs are spread across the state, so no one county sets the route. None of the metros in the dossier sits inside New York, so a lot is read by its ZIP.
USDA counted 56 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space in New York, 22nd of 50 and about 1,011 cubic feet for each warehousing job, against 2,254 across the states it reports. Cold storage is a smaller part of the picture here, so most lots come off ambient docks.
