New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams pledged to create at least 70,000 jobs in his first year in office to make a dent in the city’s 10.2% unemployment rate, which is about double the national average, and revive an economy pummeled by the pandemic.
Adams, during an interview on Friday with Bloomberg editors and reporters, also said he would overhaul the city’s leadership, including potential appointments of new schools and health chiefs. He said he will split the leadership role of the New York Police Department in two and he’s launched a national search for a police commissioner.
