The sluggish Long Island job market is barely growing. It had 500 more private-sector jobs in May, compared with the year before. While that statistic isn’t anything to crow about, it looks pretty good compared with other areas around the state. The Hudson Valley region, for example, had 14,900 fewer jobs in the same period.
