I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.

Low-wage jobs have gone offshore. We need to innovate to stay competitive.

I'd love to have our trains, our subway cars and our taxis built right here in New York City. You can create 40,000 living wage jobs... the city's contracting power is huge.

I see opportunities in all my businesses. And the reason is simple. We thrive on countries that are urbanizing.

The financial industry is a service industry. It should serve others before it serves itself.

If you can attract highly educated people from other parts of the country and keep your own best and brightest, chances are the job creators are going to be successful.

We'll look after the people who create jobs and business and give them that opportunity to grow in the time ahead.

Cities can become the engines that fuel our nation's growth and prosperity, and they can be wide gateways for families to achieve their own American dream of prosperity.

Top creative and innovative talent wants to live in a vibrant, transit-friendly, global city that offers access to not only great jobs but also great food, entertainment and culture.

Businesses are not just local or even national anymore - good ideas are immediately global. So the market opportunities are much larger than we've ever imagined or seen.
