The wealthy keep getting wealthier, while too many working families are either stuck or worse, falling farther behind. That’s the K shaped economy, a nationwide trend that hits harder here in New York City, the wealthiest city in the country.

New data from our office shows that inflation continues to outpace modest wage gains. At the same time, wealth is pulling away from work, meaning much of the income at the top 10% comes from stocks, investments, real estates and other assets, not from a paycheck.

Building more affordable housing and attracting more high-wage jobs can help change the trajectory and it’s the only way we can make an economy that works for everyone.

Wealth inequality is growing nationwide, but nowhere is it more apparent than in New York City. New data from our office shows how inequality has worsened since the pandemic:

📊 Nearly 2/3 of real income growth in NYC went to the top 1%
📈 In 2024, the top 1% of NYC households received 37% of all income in the city, compared with 22% nationally.
💰 The top 0.1% (about 5,000 households) received 22% of all NYC income, approximately double what is seen nationally.
📉 For the bottom 90% of earners in NYC, between 2019 and 2024, real median income fell 3.2%, while average real income for the bottom 90% was essentially unchanged.

Most New Yorkers are treading water. Inflation has erased wage gains, mid-income jobs are disappearing, and most households are struggling to afford basics like housing, food and transportation.

New York City's working waterfront continues to drive economic opportunity and innovation.

Comptroller Levine visited the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park to learn more about its redevelopment and the role it's playing in strengthening New York's industrial economy. The project is already supporting more than 1,600 NYC jobs while creating new opportunities for local workers, businesses, and the next generation of talent.

It was especially inspiring to meet Brooklyn students learning about the renewable energy, engineering, and innovation shaping the future of our waterfront. Thank you to the Windscape team for the tour and for highlighting the important work underway in Sunset Park.

Since the NYC Comptroller’s Office launched a partnership with the Hebrew Free Loan Society (HFLS) in late May, 32 New York City small businesses have been approved for nearly $1.5 million in zero-interest loans to help them launch, grow, and thrive.

Through this partnership, HFLS will aim to deliver up to $8 million in affordable interest-free loan capital to small businesses across the five boroughs.

Access to affordable capital remains one of the main barriers facing small businesses and entrepreneurs across New York City. If you have a business idea, or are looking to grow your business, visit the link to learn more: https://comptroller.nyc.gov/services/for-businesses/zero-interest-loans/

July jobs data for NYC is out. Job growth remains slower than we’d like, but there’s some encouraging news: NYC continues to outperform much of the country. The city added 20,400 jobs in July, and unemployment fell to its lowest level in more than a year. Here’s what the latest numbers tell us about NYC’s job market.

NYC public school students need more space to play, exercise and learn — and an underused City program could help. The School Streets Program launched during the COVID pandemic and allowed schools to use adjacent eligible streets for activities.

In a new review by the NYC Comptroller’s Office:

Just 48 schools used School Streets last school year,
Of 1,156 school buildings reviewed, 93% have an adjacent street likely eligible for School Streets
Of the 371 schools without outdoor physical education space, 324 have an adjacent street likely eligible for School Streets.

Comptroller Levine is calling on NYCPS and DOT to streamline the process and expand access to this resource.
