Below is the full text of Mayor Adams' second State of the City Address as prepared for delivery. A year ago, I was sworn in as your mayor. We've climbed a lot of mountains since that day.
Today, I stand before you here at the Queens Theater, in the borough where I grew up. Home to an international working-class community to say to you, my fellow New Yorkers: The state of our city is strong. As strong as the police officers and first responders who have made this city safer, as strong as the legions of city workers who have laid the groundwork for the future, and, above all, as strong as the working people of this city who make it all possible.
That's why we are expanding the social safety net, making it easier to access public benefits and health care, no matter who you are or where you live. We're changing how we get things done for New Yorkers - building success at the source, solving problems upstream instead of reacting to crises downstream, moving beyond recovery into a new era of abundance and equity.
So as I said, our Working People's Agenda starts with jobs - not side hustles or occasional gigs but jobs with good pay and good benefits, jobs you can support yourself and a family on, jobs you can build a life around. New York City has added more than 200,000 new jobs over the last year, and our employment growth has outpaced the state and the nation.
Today, I'm proud to announce that we will connect 30,000 New Yorkers to apprenticeships by 2030, thanks to our new Apprenticeship Accelerator. This is on-the-job experience with an opportunity for permanent employment in high-demand careers, and it will ensure employers can tap the talent they need. Our city and country are already facing a nursing shortage, and the federal government estimates we will need 275,000 more nurses nationally by 2030. So I'm proud to announce a new Nursing Education Initiative - in partnership with CUNY - that will help more New Yorkers enter the nursing workforce, stay in the profession, and climb the career ladder.
We're also going to make sure more of the money that our city spends goes towards creating good jobs for New Yorkers right here at home. That means working with our partners in Albany to finally give New York City the power to require companies that benefit from city contracts to hire local community members. Promoting community hiring will allow us to help 36,000 economically disadvantaged workers connect to good jobs every year.
Ask him how the city is in dire need. Due tomorrow the asylum seekers. Now he says the city is in a good economic state. Which one is it. Sure he won't answer that.

Y continúe to add extra burden on our police force , 311 should redirect all illegal parking concerns to NYPD TRAFFIC AGENTS . And some directly to FDNY for FIRE HYDRANTS BEING BLOCKED ITS A SHARE RESPONSIBILITY , Each agency should respond to THEIR RESPONSIBILITY !
