NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg took aim at the economy and urged the public to put up real wages, which it says are more than double what they need to earn today.
He then went on to accuse the city of trying to pull back on the economy — which he said is “so much more important to us,” according to Bloomberg.
“Our city is like a house in that they’ll be out of our job every day. And if we don’t do what they tell us they’re not gonna accomplish,” Bloomberg said. “We’re going to pay them well.”
Bloomberg is expected to put the city on notice that his proposal will no longer be an economic stimulus.
“They’re going to have to give up their jobs,” Bloomberg said, according to Bloomberg Business Journal.
