NEW Regional Report: Colleges and universities in the New York metropolitan area

Employment and wage data from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages are used to examine the labor market impact and contributions of colleges and universities in the New York area. See www.bls.gov/opub/regional_reports/200910_colleges_universities_new_york.pdf.

NEW Health care industries and the New York City labor market

From 1990 to 1995, New York City?s health care employment rose faster than the national average, but growth then slowed until 2002, when the pace quickened again; the 1995?2002 slowdown reflected slower growth in hospital care expenditures, while accelerated job growth after 2002 reflected strong growth in the elderly population and in home health care.  See http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2009/09/art1full.pdf
