According to a report from City Comptroller Bill Thompson's office, NYC has lost 30,000 jobs in "information services"—aka fields like traditional publishing, broadcasting and new media. According to the Post, "Thompson issued a report saying the industry -- one of New York's traditional leaders -- provided 192,300 jobs in September 2000. Two months ago, the number was down to 161,500." And the chief economist in the comptroller's office said, "The scary part of this is that not all of this is due to the recession."

These jobs will not return after any possible overall recovery. Civil service doesn't sound so bad now, does it?
Yeah, because a communications job isn't one where you actually *do something". It's an entire industry based around abstract ideas...
No, it's about "communicating."
Abstract ideas hurt CR's head.
30k jobs out of 8 million people. what's the city/national unemployment rate?
Since 2000? Have they forgotten the whole dot com crash in early 2001 that eliminated a bunch of new media jobs? If you're going to look at 10 years of data, then you should look at things that happened more than a year or two ago for causes.
"The scary part of this is that not all of this is due to the recession."
