That's a message that resonated as well on Wall Street, which, unlike some of his opponents and Mr de Blasio, Mr Adams did not demonise. After some politicians attacked a plan by Amazon to expand in Queens, causing the company to back out, Mr Adams later warned the message was "New York is no longer open for business." As some firms and many workers decamped during the pandemic for businessfriendly states like Florida and Texas, Mr Adams said, "We are in the business of recruiting human beings. That is the job of a city, and we have been a terrible recruiter over these last few years." He plans a recruiting effort to attract workers and businesses from around the world.
這一信息也在華爾街引起了共鳴，亞當斯和他的一些對手以及白思豪不同，亞當斯并沒有妖魔化。在一些政客攻擊亞馬遜在皇后區擴張的計劃而導致該公司退出后，亞當斯先生后來警告說“紐約將不再對商業開放。”隨著一些員工和許多工人在新冠疫情期間遷往佛羅里達州和德克薩斯州等對商業友好的州時，亞當斯說：“我們從事的是招募人才的工作。這是一個城市的工作，而在過去的幾年里，我們一直都是糟糕的招聘人員。”他計劃成立一個電子商務網站以吸引來自世界各地的工人和企業。
Assuming he defeats Curtis Sliwa, the beret wearing, long-shot Republican candidate, Mr Adams will become the city's second African-American mayor. He will also have a notoriously hard job, made harder by the pandemic. Federal recovery funds have propped the city up, but Bloomberg News reports the city expects property tax revenue to drop $1.6bn, or about 5%, this coming fiscal year. That would be the biggest drop in three decades. The value of office buildings has fallen citywide by 16%. Tourists, a critical input to New York's economy, have yet to return in big numbers, and only 12% of office workers are back at their Manhattan desks.
如果亞當斯擊敗了戴著貝雷帽、希望渺茫的共和黨候選人柯蒂斯·斯里瓦，那么他將成為該市第二位非裔美國人市長。他的工作也將非常艱難，而疫情讓他的工作雪上加霜。聯邦恢復基金支撐了該市，但據彭博新聞社報道，紐約市今年的房產稅收預計將減少16億美元，約為5%。這將是30年來的最大跌幅。全市寫字樓的價值下降了16%。游客是紐約經濟的重要組成部分，但游客還沒有大量回歸，只有12%的辦公室職員回到了他們在曼哈頓的辦公桌前。
Mr Adams has called for budget cuts of 3-5% at city agencies to rein in spending (New York City's budget is nearly $100bn). He plans to work informally with Mr de Blasio in order to hit the ground running. "He is ideologically flexible," says Robert Snyder, Manhattan borough historian, "and he's very pragmatic." After the rigidly progressive Mr de Blasio, New York could use both of these qualities.
亞當斯呼吁在市政機構削減3-5%的預算以控制開支(紐約市的預算將近1000億美元)。他計劃與白思豪進行非正式合作以便盡快展開工作。“他在意識形態上靈活多變，”曼哈頓區歷史學家羅伯特·斯奈德說，“而且他非常務實。”在激進的白思豪之后，紐約可以利用這兩種品質。
