New York’s job recovery has lagged behind other cities in part because the virus struck the city sooner, and vital industries, like hospitality and retail, remained closed longer and lost more jobs.
The positions, mostly in clothing and department stores, paid an average of about $62,000 a year.
In the same period, about 66,200 home health aid jobs were added, the most in any industry.
Another 34,000 jobs were added in social services positions, which paid an average of $38,000.
The third-fastest growing industry was management consulting, which paid an average $198,000, but only added 14,000 jobs to the economy, Dr. Parrott said.
