We added fewer than 1,000 private sector jobs in the first half of this year. Two dozen tech companies in our city have laid off workers this year, part of a national trend which has seen 150,000 tech jobs [were] cut across 549 companies just last year alone. And so what I want my policies to do is not only to make it easier for working people to afford this city, but also to ensure that businesses are able to attract the top talent to this city.
