Employment in Areas of Manhattan Affected by the Events of September 11, 2001
The events of September 11, 2001 resulted in
a tragic loss of life and significant disruptions to the affected local
economies. In partial response to the widespread interest in the employment
impacts of these events, this fact sheet presents the latest available
pre-September 11 payroll employment counts for the affected areas of
Manhattan.
The employment counts below are for March 2001
and are drawn from quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by
employers for the first quarter of 2001. Counts are provided for three
progressively larger areas of lower Manhattan, defined using groups of zip
codes.

Employment by major industry division for the
three areas of Manhattan can be found in the attached tables. Some counts in
these tables are not disclosed in order to maintain the confidentiality of
reporting firms.
These data come from the Covered Employment
and Wages (ES-202) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The ES-202
program produces employment and wage data for all employees covered by
Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Unemployment Compensation for Federal
Employees (UCFE). These data are collected by each State under its UI laws and
are provided to BLS by State employment security agencies. The data for the
estimates above were collected by the New York Department of Labor and
provided to BLS. ES-202 employment counts are the basis for the annual
benchmarking of the Current Employment Statistics (payroll) survey.
UI-covered workers represent approximately 98
percent of wage and salary employees nationwide.
