Q&A

New York City Council · Jun 26, 2026 · starts 0:44:47 · 40 sec

Won asks how many jobs LL97 is creating and presses for a breakdown of the 400,000 projection. Jung cites 8.6% growth in 21 focus occupations but cannot provide an exact job count. Won asks the team to look up the number and demands a breakdown of how the 400,000 forecast was constructed.

Julie Won

Okay, can your team look it up right now so that we can understand how many jobs that is?

Julie Won

And can you help me break down the 400,000 jobs?

Julie Won

So you're saying that it's going to be 400,000 jobs by 2040, and that's up from 133,000.

Julie Won

Even if you were saying that right now, you can't tell me and the other chair how many jobs that is going to be year to year.

Julie Won

Help me understand what...

Julie Won

Your vision was when you set the number 400,000 for the next four years.

Julie Won

So what for the next, I guess, until 2040.

Julie Won

So how are you guys looking to increase the jobs by 2040?

Julie Won

What is the breakdown that you made that forecast?
