How Teterboro Airport Became the Centre of Private Flight in the Northeast

Just 12 miles from bustling Midtown Manhattan, beyond the flow of the Hudson and hidden away from the sprawling terminals of New York’s commercial airports, sits a 100-year-old airport that quietly gets on with business. Surprisingly, this airport is the engine that powers business in New York: Teterboro Airport.

This isn’t where you come to catch your flight to a family vacation or hop onto a cross-country route. There are no commercial terminals here and no accompanying TSA lines snaking the length of city blocks, no overloaded departure boards…not at this airport. Teterboro has become a hub for private air travel: both those who wish to book private jet travel and those who own their own private aircraft move through its halls on a daily basis. This now antique airport is the undisputed hub of private aviation in the entire Northeastern part of the United States. The question is, how did this come to be?

Assembly Labor Committee Passes Bill to Crack Down on “Ghost Job” Listings

Danielsen, Speight legislation would ensure employers provide clear job vacancy details and timely updates to job seekers

(TRENTON) — For many job seekers, applying to a position only to never hear back, or learning the job was never truly open, has become an all-too-common experience in today’s competitive job market. Recognizing that frustration, the Assembly Labor Committee today advanced legislation to require employers or a third-party job posting company to clarify in job postings whether the posting is for existing position or for an anticipated vacancy. The bill would also require an employer or third-party job posting company to remove a job posting when a position has been filled within two weeks after the position being filled or within 30 days after the original posting, whichever is later.

The bill, A1161, sponsored by Assemblyman Joe Danielsen and Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, seeks to make sure that advertised positions reflect real opportunities for New Jersey workers.
