NYC Jobs Blueprint

Project

The NYC Jobs Blueprint lays the groundwork for the actions and partnerships that local government, organized labor, the private sector and civic groups will need to undertake in order to maintain New York’s status as the pre-eminent city of opportunity over the next decade. It focuses on the five pillars that support the contemporary urban platform for opportunity: more and better jobs; better educated and skilled workers; infrastructure that provides greater connectivity and accessibility; a safe and affordable living environment; and an efficient, disciplined and well-run city government.
