Between 2007 and 2010, the number of workers in digital media companies in the city grew by 74 percent. To assist new tech start-ups, the mayor's office has set up 'incubators' that provide these businesses with low-cost office space. A public-private fund has also been established to offer early-stage capital to help these businesses get off the ground.?
In his radio address, the mayor pointed out that New York City accounted for nearly 8 percent of all the jobs created in the nation. He said that a booming tech sector contributed largely to job growth in the city, and maintained the importance of the city's continued investment in this industry.
"Our major trailblazing partnerships with Cornell, Columbia, NYU, and other schools and private firms will create new academic applied sciences programs that will spin off hundreds of new tech start-ups and generate tens of thousands of new jobs in the decades to come," Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg also announced the opening of a new public high school, the Academy of Software Engineering, to help prepare young people for future jobs.
And in sticking with the city's theme of helping young people, the mayor's office has established the 'Close to Home' initiative. This city-wide program helps to educate, supervise and rehabilitate at-risk juveniles who have run into problems with the law.
"By helping these young people stay off that wrong path to more run-ins with the law, and on the right path to graduation and jobs, we're going to make our neighborhoods even safer and our economy even stronger. And that's good news for us all.
