Since 1948, the ILR School has worked with NYC policymakers, businesses, worker organizations, not-for-profits, and community groups to improve the workplace. Today, we continue to provide educational services, research, and guidance for addressing employment challenges – including the new realities created by the COVID-19 pandemic – facing NYC, New York State, and the world.
The 2021 elections are about the economic revival of NYC. The City as a financial and cultural center will be different from its pre-pandemic world. The industries and jobs that thrive will be influenced by the public officials elected to run NYC.
As a school committed to studying work and the workplace, as well as being a part of the NYC community, we at Cornell's ILR School are providing information on the elections to help you better understand the candidates' positions on work, labor, and employment.
