From the financiers on Wall Street to the media kings of Madison Avenue, New York is more than a leader in these fields, it is an icon. Global powerhouses including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, American Express, and Time Warner are based here alongside tech start-ups such as Foursquare. New York boasts the headquarters of 45 Fortune 500 companies and is a major hub for foreign corporations, which occupy 10% of the city’s private sector jobs.
