Job Losses Were Uneven Throughout The Five Boroughs
New figures by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show job losses greatly affected Manhattan's economy between 2008 to 2009, while the Bronx actually gained jobs in that period.
According to the report, Manhattan saw a total of 2,280,000 jobs lost. This was a loss of 4.7 percent and the highest in the five boroughs.
Jobs in Brooklyn fell 0.5 percent to a total of 480,000. Queens dropped to 497,000 jobs, or a year's loss of 2.8 percent. Staten Island dropped to 93,000 jobs, or a 1.2 percent loss.
One of the big surprises in the study came from the Bronx, where jobs actually increased 1.2 percent, to a total of 232,000.
