NYC Asks Government Workers to Return to Office in May

(Bloomberg) -- New York City wants to get more workers into office buildings, so Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling back the city’s own employees in May.

“We will bring our city back,” de Blasio said Thursday night in his annual State of the City address, a pre-recorded video where he outlined his priorities for his last year in office.

In the video, de Blasio spoke against a backdrop of black-and-white photos of the Great Depression, the city’s 1970s fiscal crisis, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “Each came with prophecies of doom,” he said, “and yet New York City fought back.”

This economic recovery will hinge on New York’s ability to vaccinate its more than 8 million residents amid a nationwide vaccine shortage. Almost 700,000 doses have been administered in New York City since the city began its inoculation drive in December.
