Maintain New York as the global capital for innovation by supporting high-growth and high-value industries
New York City reached a record total of nearly 4.3 million jobs according to seasonally adjusted job numbers for February 2016 provided by the New York State Department of Labor. Since Mayor de Blasio took office in January 2014, the city has added 256,700 private sector jobs, an increase of 7.4 percent. Private sector jobs in the outer boroughs have increased at a rate more than double that of Manhattan, providing increased economic opportunity for many New Yorkers. The administration has been particularly focused on creating quality jobs that are accessible to New Yorkers from all backgrounds, as demonstrated by the suite of initiatives that will grow the city’s industrial and manufacturing economy. Diversification of the city’s economic base toward non-finance industries is helping to create a stronger and less volatile local economy, with sectors such as technology, professional and business services, health and social services, and manufacturing seeing gains.
