Steve reflects on the path that took him from Goldman Sachs to the Marine Corps after 9/11, into elected office, and ultimately through three terms as Mayor of Jersey City. He also discusses his new role leading the Partnership for New York City and how the business community can work more closely with government and nonprofits to strengthen the city.

Greg and Steve explore job creation, employer engagement, nonprofit partnerships, child care, housing production, and the policies shaping New York City’s competitiveness. They also examine the growing impact of artificial intelligence on entry-level jobs and why workforce organizations, employers, libraries, and government must work together to prepare New Yorkers for an economy where the skills employers need are changing quickly.
