Did you know that according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report, New York City is today back within 6,000 jobs of where it was in January of 2001?
January of 2001 saw America in the midst of (actually at the end of) a “tech bubble” and New York, of course, pre-9/11. It’s taken nearly seven years to get back there.
With crime still plummeting in New York, Wall Street rollicking and a stronger, more standards-backed CUNY system New York produced 57,000 jobs last year, boosting its workforce by 1.5%!
Construction jobs continued to surge, while manufacturing jobs continued to lose ground, while BOTH high paying (finance and professional services) and lower paying (education and healthcare) jobs gained ground.
