Mike Bloomberg on JobsMayor of New York City (Independent) |
When politicians suggest that the benefits of globalisation go primarily to low-wage countries, they are playing to people’s fears. In fact, globalisation benefits every country that maximises its strategic advantages--and no country has more strategic advantages than the US.
These strategic advantages are a powerful magnet for the investors, entrepreneurs and innovators who are pioneering new fields and creating good jobs.
“New York City’s economy continues to grow, and today’s news that our unemployment rate fell yet again to an historic low is the latest sign that everything we’re doing to create and keep jobs in New York is working,“ said Mayor Bloomberg. ”Our ambitious five-borough economic development strategy is designed to make the City more livable, more business-friendly and more economically diverse. Our crime rate is lower and our schools are getting better, so it’s no surprise that people want locate and grow businesses here and create more jobs.“
