Which choice most accurately summarizes New York’s Specialization?

• New York’s sectoral profile should be analyzed as a set of regional economies rather than inferred solely from New York City’s finance sector.
• Rochester’s optics and imaging legacy, Albany-area technology research, Buffalo logistics, and New York City finance show how historical specialization can persist and evolve.
• GDP per resident can support productivity or scale comparisons but is not a measure of median living standards.
• The approximately 2.9% increase in New York real GDP from 2024 to 2025 should be described as growth in inflation-adjusted output, not income growth.
