Looking for a job? Go to Brooklyn
Brooklyn’s job market is growing faster than the state’s and the nation’s, according to the State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the New York Post reported.
“It’s an exciting time for Brooklyn with record employment, business growth, and a budding tech sector,” DiNapoli said last week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
The private sector has added 172,600 jobs since 2009 and grew by 4.4 percent in the past year alone, DiNapoli said. Health care jobs make up about a quarter of that growth, followed by retail.
