Queens has more residents than at any time in its history, a record number of jobs and businesses, and an all-time low unemployment rate, according to an economic report released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.
“The Queens economy is booming, setting employment records in each of the past six years,” DiNapoli said. “Immigrants, who make up nearly half of the population, are an important part of the borough’s success. Under the leadership of Borough President Melinda Katz, the future looks bright.”
