Every day, New Yorkers work hard to build a better future for themselves and their families. They want a chance to get ahead, to buy a home, pay for college, and save for retirement. We know that in order to make New York City the best place on the globe to raise a family, we need the best jobs on the globe. And we need to keep money in the pockets of working-class New Yorkers.
That is why from day one of this administration, we have made it a priority to make sure opportunity reaches every borough, block, and neighborhood. We have gone to work to deliver for New Yorkers every day, everywhere — and our efforts are working. Unemployment is down across all demographic groups since we entered office. And in the last three years, we have done my favorite thing: break records. From a record number of new small businesses, to record amounts of affordable housing being created, to record investments in minority- and women-owned businesses, our economy is booming.
