  • Small Business First Report

    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.

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.

The bill, co-sponsored by Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte, prohibits certain evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read about the legislation here. • Ahead of the July 4th holiday, the governor's office announced that state police will conduct sobriety checkpoints statewide and target reckless and distracted drivers. • The campaign will begin tomorrow, July 3rd and run through Sunday, July 5th. • Governor Cuomo issued a hate crimes investigation after swastikas and other hateful symbols were painted on a building in the town of Perinton, upstate. The graffiti upstate is just the latest anti-Semitic and racist vandalism in the state. • In the face of rising COVID-19 cases across the nation, the governor called out President Trump for denying the severity of the pandemic "from day one". • In yet another foray into city politics, the governor - after declining to give NYC the authority to borrow money to cover operating costs - said he was confused by the recently passed NYC Council budget and that he "doesn't know what it means".

A year ago, we unveiled Career Pathways: One City Working Together, a transformative plan to expand access to career-track jobs in fast-growing industry sectors, improve job quality, and foster a more cohesive workforce system. This progress report gives an overview of our achievements since releasing Career Pathways and the work that is currently underway. The City has both added and shifted our resources and policies towards training and education—reaching nearly 7,500 people through partnerships with community colleges through Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) and employers to build trainings that can lead to employment with growth opportunities and family-sustaining wages. We are beginning to move away from “rapid attachment” job placement, almost doubling our investment in skills training, and committing more dollars towards new models, including bridge programs and targeted entrepreneurship programs, serving over 18,700 New Yorkers—34% more than in FY 2014—combined. We have also begun building system-wide consensus around common definitions of job quality so that all agencies can work systemically to achieve this ambitious vision.
