The job figures for the unemployed in New York are grim. The unemployment rate in New York City varies from 9.5% to 14%! However, there are some job areas that remain constant and are even growing in terms of need for workers.

Our Center for the Women of New York tries to give a helping hand to those who want to enter these fields, which offer many advantages.
