A warning sign on AI and jobs:
A new @nycfuture report finds that postings for entry-level tech jobs in NYC have fallen 49% since 2022, even as overall tech employment has remained relatively stable. This pattern is showing up in other AI-exposed professions as well.
AI may be starting to break the bottom rung of the career ladder, making it much harder for young people to enter the workforce.

Public recreation is an antidote to the loneliness epidemic, connecting NYers and supporting physical/mental health. But disinvestment has stretched @NYCParks rec centers thin.
NY4P and CUF (@nycfuture) spoke with @nytimes about the need to change course.

Making New York City more affordable is essential, but the flip side of the coin for @ZohranKMamdani is the central need to improve upward mobility, so incomes grow.

Appreciate seeing the first press conference held by Mayor-Elect Mamdani at Queens' crown jewel, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
@ZohranKMamdani — we have ideas (20, in fact) at @nycfuture about its future. Let's chat!

There is no park like Flushing Meadows. But as demands and challenges grew, public dollars haven't kept up. In the latest from @nycfuture, @jbowlesnyc and I laid out 20 ideas for local leaders to deliver the sustained investment FMCP has long been due.

Tech is "now the engine driving [NYC's] economy forward, adding jobs at nearly 10x the rate of the city’s overall economy since [2020] and accounting for a striking 14% of all employment growth citywide over the past decade."

We've known for a while that our housing shortage is a serious threat to New York's economy.
Now, a new @nycfuture report shows that the biggest threat to one of our fastest-growing industries is housing costs.
ALT Article from The City But the biggest threat to the sector is the housing crisis. “Housing affordability is challenge Number 1, 2 and 3,” the report says. The college grads the industry needs are increasingly worried they won’t be able to afford to live in New York because of soaring rents.

A great honor to participate in a fireside chat with the Center for Urban Future (CUF), on Ideas for Creating a Stronger and More Equitable Bronx. Grateful for the opportunity to share our blueprint for the Borough from economic development to building generational wealth and creating good-paying jobs for our residents.
Thanks to our participants, panelists, partners and elected officials all dedicated to uplifting our families and creating important paths to the middle class and sustainability. I’m always proud to share the stage with thought leaders, advocates, not-for-profit leaders and community partners.
The Bronx means Business!
