Actually, Rochester is doing very well. Lowest unemployment rate in NYS (or at least the Upstate area). Very white collar, so you tend to have a much higher average income level.
And say what you want about the issues with Kodak and to some degree Xerox, but the fact is there are more white collar jobs now than there were back in those companies heydays. A lot of folks from those companies started companies which made up for the slack and then some. And remember, just because Kodak got smaller does not mean those jobs went away -- Johnson and Johnson, Carestream, and ITT are all examples of former Kodak divisions sold off with the jobs remaining intact and in some cases even growing.
