Top 10 Best Hot Jobs in Wealthiest Long Island Towns - Muttontown, Oyster Bay

Among the list published in early 2011 by BusinessWeek of its Wealthiest 25 Towns in America, nine of these places are located on Long Island. These towns are:

• Brookville - #1 in the nation
• Roslyn Estates - #6
• Oyster Bay Cove - #8
• Old Westbury - #10
• Muttontown (in Oyster Bay) and Munsey Park - both at #13. Munsey Park made the Forbes list as well. These two interesting communities are discussed in this Hub.
• Lloyd Harbor - #14
• Sands Point - #15
• North Hills - #19

The Forbes organization's list of richest cities, mentioned above, included not ony Munsey Park on Long Island, but also the villages of Plandone/Plandome Manor/Plandome Heights, and Hewlett Neck, nearby. Long Island is a hot spot for wealth as well as natural habitats and America History.

On the Pacific Coast, several of the Top 25 Wealthiest are located in California, and a few are scattered around the Midwest and West.

Overwhelmingly, the richest places are usually along American Atlantic and Pacific Coastlines. This reflects the importance of water to shipping and passenger transporation since the beginning of the US, and to Travel and Tourism. These waterways provide not only beach recreation, but retail, dining, and accomodation businesses along waterfronts that are constantly under revitalization - not only to treat erosion, but to update communities and develop mandated Enterprise Zones nearby for jobs and business. Most of these rich towns, waterfront or not, maintain a system of National Historic Landmarks as well.

In Nassau County, Muttontown is a village inside of the town of Oyster Bay. It sits between two other of the wealthierst places in the US: Brookville on the east and Oyster Bay Cove on the northwest. The three communities are clustered closely together, having been sheep-grazing land early in the European settlement of what became New York State. Another farm animal, ducks, have been a large animal crop in Suffolk County, just east of Nassau County and Muttontown.

This organization connects the Jewish Holocaust that also affected Blacks and GLBT with other mass genocides and ethnic mistreatments in the world: African Slaves in America, Indigenous Peoples' maltreatment globally, and today's bullying, among others.

Research efforts at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory create new technologies, products, and servies in human and animal cancer prevention and treatment, neurological diseases, plant and animal biology, and genomics and bioinformatics related to disease and health. The facility possesses the first DNA Learning Center in the nation, from which the latest information concerning DNA research is distributed to the public.

Genetic research at this institution began at the beginning of the 20th C. and James Watson of the Crick-Watson 1953 DNA discovery partnership became director in 1968. Retired, he still speaks to classes and public workshops.

One of the triumphs of the Laboratory is the successful treatment of facial cancers that were killing off the Tasmanian Devil. Treatment was made possible through the discovery of a gene impacting the initiation and proliferation of these cancers. Another achievement is the production of healthier, disease-resistant corn.

• Oyster Bay maintains a number of historic landmarks since its first discovery by Europeans in the early 1520s. The Dutch settlers purchased some of the surrounding land from Native Americans in 1639 and made it over into an agricultural area. In the early 20th C., Theodore Roosevelt lived in Oyster Bay at a home called Sagamore Hill. This mansion is one of the National Historic Landmarks open to the public in Oyster Bay today.

During April-May 2011, over 199,000 job listings were available within 25 miles of Muttontown, itself an all-residential village. A few positions were open in the town itself for housekeeping and other services needed by residents.
