Gauging Employment Prospects in New York City, 2009 (February 2009) is a systematic assessment of New York City's labor market intended for use by the policymakers and providers of the city's workforce development system. In the report, the NYCLMIS examines the largest employment industries according to five criteria relevant to placing jobseekers -- employment trends, wage level trends, access for people with less than a four-year college degree, performance during previous recessions, and exposure to the financial services industries. Findings are presented for each set of assessment measures, and then in combination, to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of key industry groups. While there are no promising sectors in a severe recession, the report identifies home health care, individual and family services, colleges and universities, doctor's offices, and grocery stores as the most all-around resilient industry groups in the short-term.
