The briefing featured a discussion with New York Fed economists on upcoming Liberty Street Economics blog posts on the economic recovery in the Federal Reserve’s Second District since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the discussion focused on employment trends in the region, including the gains recorded since an initial sharp decline, the change in the employment landscape, and the current labor force shortage. The discussion included New York City specific data to accompany coverage of northern New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut.
