It's really more upstate NY than New York State. Almost 70% of NYS lives in the NY Metro area.
From downstate, the rest of NYS doesn't have the Rust Belt perception that is often attributed to the rest of the Great Lakes region. Upstate is thought of as the place to go skiing, camping, or to college. You'll almost never hear someone here call Buffalo the "Rust Belt".
