If I live in New York and work in NJ, Do I have to pay tax both in NJ and NY

If I live in New York and work in NJ, Do I have to pay tax both in NJ and NY?
How does this work? I know certain states don't have state tax but If I work at a state with no state tax but live in a state that does, do I have to pay state taxes?

States with no income tax withholding on wages: Alaska Florida Nevada New Hampshire South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington Wyoming If you are a permanent resident of one of the states above, but you work in one of the other 41 states, then you almost always will have the other state's income tax withheld from your paycheck. Then again, you may be able to file a non-resident tax return for that state and get some of it back. Depends on the state.
2 :
I used to work in NJ and live in NY. I had to pay both taxes (filed forms with both), but one state CREDITS the other (depending on which you are having deducted from you pay) and you should not pay more taxes that you would if you worked and lived in the same state. Not sure, but I would think if you worked in a state with no taxes, but lived in a state that had income tax, you would still need to pay your state's tax...after all, you are using their state services just by living there. (But if you are talking about NJ & NY, this example does not work because they both sure tax you!!)
3 :
File a NJ Non-Resident return lising ONLY the income earned in NJ and pay any tax due. Then file a NY Resident return listing all income from all sources. You will get a credit on your NY return for the NJ taxes paid (not "depending upon which tax was withheld" as another poster stated). You aren't taxed twice but the net effect is that you will pay state tax at the higher of the 2 states' rates. Some states have reciprocity agreements that normally stipulate that residents are only taxed in their home state. NJ & PA have such an agreement. NY and NJ do not, at least the last time I checked.

What constitutes a hostile work environment in New York state

What constitutes a hostile work environment in New York state?
More specifically, what kinds of emotional abuse can constitute a hostile work enviornment. If a supervisor frequently humiliates a worker in front of others, asks personal questions, implies they think the employee is stupid, goes into rages, glares at an employee, etc., can that be considered a hostile work environment?

Yes. Bullying of any type is consider hostile. A supervisor doesn't have to be the bully, but beware: many times the lower ranked employee is cheaper to replace than higher ranked, and most usually, the higher ranked employee gets the benefit for economic reasons. Whatever you do, choose your words and actions carefully.
2 :
Hostile work environment must be based on one of the prohibited factors, meaning race, religion, national origin, gender (sexual harassment), color, ethnicity. Under case law usually an isolated incident will not give rise to a cause of action for hostile work conditions, unless it was very egregious. Like a racial slur or something physical. However, most cases of hostile environment is based on pervasive conduct; insulting remarks, but it has been going on for a long time. Months, for instance. Comments or implication like you are stupid, stated overtime, in front of others may be grounds for hostile work conditions. The person causing the hostile work conditions does not have to be a superior, but that helps. It can be a co-worker, but in that case you have to notify the boss first, unless he knew or should have known; before you should sue, otherwise they will have a defense. If you are a victim of hostile work conditions, call your local EEOC (A federal agency which deals with workplace violations, they are very good/Equal Employment Opportunity Comission). They also have state agencies, addressing the same thing. It will not cost you anything and they will investigate, if you win you collect damages.
