Which statement best explains the significance of Labor Statistics for New York State?

  • BLS payroll employment figures count jobs, not unique people, and are different from GDP or household-income measures.
  • Milk, apples, grapes, maple syrup, vegetables, corn, and hay show that New York agriculture is diversified.
  • New York’s economy varies by region rather than functioning as a single New York City-centered system.
  • Large agricultural acreage outside major cities shows why urban population concentration does not describe statewide land use.
