He cites high and rising city income and occupancy taxes, as well as office rents of up to $15 a square foot in midtown Manhattan v. $7 in the suburbs. Clerical workers commonly put in only 35 hours a week in Manhattan v. 40 in some nearby towns, and their turnover rate averages 34% a year, against 15% in Stamford, Conn. Worst...
