On February 15, 2010, Schumer visited Transonic Systems Inc. in Ithaca, Tompkins County. Schumer was joined by several unemployed workers, local business and economic development leaders. Schumer discussed his bipartisan \"Hire Now Tax Cut\" legislation. The legislation offers a tax cut to businesses that hire a worker who has been unemployed at least 60 days, and the business in turn will avoid paying Social Security taxes on that worker for 2010.
