This Solutions Brief provides a sectoral analysis of COVID-19’s impact on the NYC economy and the trends the pandemic has accelerated or changed. We lay out sector-based recommendations for how business and public policy leaders can respond to structural, societal, and economic changes to fast-forward NYC as a model city for the postpandemic economy. The brief spotlights the health care and technology sectors—two industrial strongholds that can play a vital role in reviving the city’s economy and in providing equal opportunity for all New Yorkers.
