Bill and I are excited that you are here and hope you enjoy our exciting new exhibit, She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York. These 60 works of art tell a powerful story about the persistence of women. From the very beginning of the de Blasio administration, we have made it our mission to honor that persistence by taking significant actions to create a stronger foundation for gender equity in our city. More parents than ever before can stay home and care for a sick child — without losing the day’s pay or being fired. More women can take time to recover from childbirth and bond with their baby. Employers can no longer use past salary history as justification for unfair pay in the present. -

Small Business First Report
Small Business First Better Government. Stronger Businesses. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 Small businesses strengthen New York City’s economy, anchor communities, create jobs, and add to the vibrancy of the City’s neighborhoods. Of the more than 200,000 businesses located in New York City, 98 percent are small (fewer than 100 employees) and 89 percent are very small (fewer than 20 employees). These small businesses employ more than half of New York City’s private sector workforce, and often provide a first chance for economic self-determination and a path to the middle class for their owners. Every day, however, small businesses face a variety of challenges, including multiple levels of government regulation. Steps have been taken over the years to improve New York City’s regulatory environment, but the complexity and number of requirements weigh heavily on small businesses that often have fewer resources to navigate government. In July 2014, Mayor de Blasio launched Small Business First, an inter-agency initiative led by the Mayor’s Office of Operations and the Department of Small Business Services to make government more effective and efficient in helping businesses start, operate, and expand. The result is 30 recommendations to greatly improve the City’s regulatory environment for small businesses and save business owners time, money, and hassle, as well as increase satisfaction with City services. To build the recommendations included in Small Business First, the City worked closely with small business owners, advocates, neighborhood and community leaders, and elected officials, to solicit ideas about how best to help small businesses. More than 600 unique comments and ideas were received detailing the specific needs of small businesses across the five boroughs. -

Murrow High School in Brooklyn This report was produced by the Mayor’s Office of Operations’ Performance Management Team and in Photo courtesy of Mayoral Photography Office collaboration with the City agencies presented within. NYC.gov/Photos CONTRIBUTORS Shariful Bhuiya Kristi Brown Tina Chiu Douglas Giuliano Henry Hecht Guenevere Knowles Bonda Lee-Cunningham Stephen Narloch Gaëlle C. Pierre, Ph.D. Norma Ponce Dan Steinberg Marlon WiIIie Cover Design: Toby Allan LETTER FROM THE MAYOR My Fellow New Yorkers: For nearly 40 years, the Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) has given the people of this city a window into how their government is working for them. The MMR embodies our commitment to transparency and accountability and it is one of the ways we use data to improve City services for all New Yorkers. The 2016 report marks my Administration’s second full year of providing this important information. The MMR highlights the full range of what we do: from everyday services to emergency operations; from small-scale initiatives to larger endeavors. Some of these services have an immediate and tangible effect, while others will have a significant effect over time. I’ve often talked about the inequities in our society as a Tale of Two Cities. With the MMR, you will get a detailed look at how City government is tackling these inequalities and creating a New York that is inclusive and fairer for all.
