Where New Yorkers Work

AN ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIES AND OCCUPATIONS IN NEW YORK

The State’s employment picture has changed in significant ways since 2000 with the health care and social assistance industry increasing its share of total employment as manufacturing and financial activities shrank. Since the pandemic, the State has taken longer than the nation to regain the jobs lost; the nation fully recovered by June 2022, while for New York, recovery did not occur until April 2024. Despite the relatively slow employment recovery, growth in wages paid to workers has outpaced inflation.


State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli quote: "It's important to have transparency so New Yorkers are empowered with information they need to hold their elected officials accountable."
