The future of work: NJ 101.5 Town Hall on what's next

After two years of lockdowns, supply chain disruptions and working remotely, the physical workplace and the dynamic between employer and employee has changed.

What comes next for the future of work in New Jersey? There are lessons to be learned from both sides.

Every NJ city and town's municipal tax bill, ranked

A little less than 30 cents of every $1 in property taxes charged in New Jersey support municipal services provided by cities, towns, townships, boroughs and villages. Statewide, the average municipal-only tax bill in 2021 was $2,725, but that varied widely from more than $13,000 in Tavistock to nothing in three townships. In addition to $9.22 billion in municipal purpose taxes, special taxing districts that in some places provide municipal services such as fire protection, garbage collection or economic development levied $323.8 million in 2021.
