[full-text, 13 pages]

Establishments of multinational manufacturing firms in the United States are

larger, are located disproportionately in the South, employ a disproportionate

number of engineers, and pay higher wages, on average, than other U.S.

establishments; these findings hold even after controlling for establishment

industry, size, and age, and the interaction between industry and size

[full-text, 6 pages]

During the construction boom that began in 2000, construction

employment rose later and with more intensity in New York City

than in the Nation as a whole, while the eventual construction bust

was later but less severe in the City than nationally; the City’s gains

and losses were concentrated in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens

Pay premiums among major industry groups in New York City

Lisa Boily

[full-text, 7 pages]

Although workers in New York City continue to earn substantially more

on average than workers in lower-cost areas, most of the rise in New

York City’s pay premium is attributable to growth in average pay in the

financial activities industries; despite a 2007–2009 decline, the financial

activities pay premium nearly doubled during the 1990–2009 period
