Unemployment is double the national average.

The city lost 1 million jobs last year. Thousands of businesses closed their doors. And New York state as a whole was hardly better, with the worst employment deficits in the country. People-facing industries \u2014 from Broadway to hotels and retail \u2014 suffered the most. The rate of New Yorkers fleeing the city for good more than <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>led on net during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By some measures, the city\u2019s bouncing back. Rents are already back to pre-pandemic levels. Maybe the sidewalks seem more crowded. But the numbers don\u2019t lie: Foot traffic is still low \u2014 among the lowest of any big city here or abroad \u2014 while subway ridership is a fraction of what it once was.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/hendrix-nyc-lifeblood-549.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"New York Mayor Bill de Blasio attends the Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum's Annual Memorial Day Ceremony in New York\" class=\"wp-image-20494423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/hendrix-nyc-lifeblood-549.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/hendrix-nyc-lifeblood-549.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/hendrix-nyc-lifeblood-549.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a blanket COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the private sector, starting from late December.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">KENA BETANCUR\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"De_Blasio_fiddles\"><\/span>De Blasio fiddles\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Last year\u2019s white-collar quarantine kept COVID cases low and jobs and incomes high in the finance and tech industries. For them, there was no recession. And they had options \u2014 they could Zoom in from anywhere. But for blue-collar workers and small businesses, COVID was catastrophic. They were the first to catch COVID and the last to regain their jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New York\u2019s leadership hardly helped. In the face of rising crime, City Hall defunded the NYPD, closed schools, banned new hotels, enforced price controls, demonized property owners, hammered businesses with fines and embarked on a historic spending spree.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And now, employers are tasked with enforcing the city\u2019s crippling vaccine mandate backed by the state\u2019s confusing mask-at-your-desk mandate \u2014 hardly a message of confidence to office workers or diners.

He\u2019s surrounding himself with job creators and promising more training and aid along with less red tape. These are good promises \u2014 ones we should work hard to help Adams keep. Long before the pandemic, New York City was already losing the lifeblood of its ambition and energy: the entrepreneurs and immigrant strivers, the working families looking elsewhere for a better way of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As de Blasio leaves office, New York City remains a \u201ctale of two cities\u201d: The divide between rich and poor has only grown larger during the pandemic. Essential workers proved nonessential to keeping tax rolls afloat, and the city\u2019s acting accordingly, taxing and masking them while knowledge workers flourish. Today\u2019s New York City is for the degreed, the vaccinated and the well-employed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New York City faces a long road to recovery unless we act fast to turn around this jobs crisis. Nearly every industry in the Big Apple is employing fewer people today than it did before the pandemic. COVID-19\u2019s already killed more New Yorkers and caused more economic damage than 9\/11. But the Big Apple cannot fully recover while in a perpetual state of emergency. It\u2019s time we got back to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Hendrix is a senior fellow and the director of state and local policy at the Manhattan Institute.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
