    • New York City’s unemployment rate was unchanged in February, at 8.9%.
    • For the first time since June of 2010, the NYC and national rates were the same. The city’s rate had been lower than the national rate for the prior seven months.
    • The national unemployment rate has fallen almost a full percent since November of last year.

    • New York City payrolls rose by almost 37,000 over the past 12 months, helped by increased hiring in the financial sector.
