New York City Council · Sep 22, 2026 · starts 0:23:10 · 37 sec

Morano asks how many of the 1.8 million applications resulted in jobs; Porter says about 20,000 positions were filled, mostly interview-based.

Frank Morano

A couple of quick non-veterans related questions.

Frank Morano

Your testimony says the NYC Jobs website received more than 1.8 million applications last year.

Frank Morano

That's an enormous number.

Frank Morano

How many of those 1.8 million applications actually resulted in someone getting a job?

Frank Morano

Do you track that number?

Katrina Porter

We do.

Katrina Porter

For 2025, it was about a little over 20,000 positions were filled through the jobs website.

Katrina Porter

And, you know, those are positions that do not require a civil service exam.

Katrina Porter

It's interview-based hiring.

Katrina Porter

But, yeah, that's the number, about 20,000.
