Greg David, Director of the business journalism program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and columnist for Crain’s New York Business, spoke at NYSAE’s October Luncheon on The Booming New York Economy. David noted that that despite the tens of thousands of new jobs, a plummeting unemployment rate, and record numbers of New York City residents working, there is something very different about this expansion compared with others in the city's modern history.
