New York City Rebuilding a Future Focused Economy Elizabeth Crofoot

Major shifts are expected in how New Yorkers work in the post-pandemic economy — remotely or in the office. But the COVID-19 pandemic has also dramatically accelerated a shift in the sectoral landscape of New York City and the industries where New Yorkers will work. Restoring New York City's economic dynamism and creating a post-pandemic, globally competitive economy will hinge on leveraging the city’s growth sectors and ensuring that New Yorkers have the skills they need to rebuild a thriving, future-focused economy.

The post-pandemic recovery in NYC has so far been unbalanced and lagging behind other major US city centers. But much of NYC’s ongoing economic recovery has been concentrated in healthcare, life sciences, and the growing tech industry — sectors that were strengthening prior to the pandemic. To ensure it remains a vital, dynamic, leading global commercial center and magnet for world-class aspirations and innovation, policymakers and New York's business leaders must promote and invest in strategies that play to the city's sectoral strengths while supporting industries made more economically vulnerable by the pandemic. Join this conversation to learn just how that can be achieved.
