New York City’s biggest employer is the City of New York

New York city is its own biggest employer.

The top five employers in the Metropolitan area belong to the public sector with the City of New York topping the list, according to data released by Crain’s New York Business.

In addition to city, state and federal government job, the 2013 list of the 25 largest employers in the city, shows that health system jobs are on the rise helping to round out the top ten employers in the city.

City Hall and the city’s Department of Education were the top two employers on the list — with City Hall employing more than 150,000 people and the Department of Education employing more than 119,000.

Staffs numbers at both agencies increased slightly from 2012 and more than 90 percent of their employees are city residents.

Federal and New York state governments rank 3rd and 4th on the list, with about 89,000 and 69,000 employees respectively.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority rounded out the top five with 67,000 employees, an increase of nearly 3 percent since the year before.

Also in the top ten of employers were health care systems such as North Shore-LIJ Health System, which recently acquired Lenox Hill Hospital, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation — the public system which runs Kings County Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital and Jacobi Medical Center — as well as the Montefiore Health System and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
