What does New York City produce?

Why is anyone stuck on "tangible" or "touchable". We got to the point in the U.S. a long time ago where we had enough potatoes for everyone and the ability to produce far more than anyone wants or needs. If you think potatoes are "real" because you can touch them and somehow more relevant than, say computer code or advertising, congratulations, you've reached the point where the rest of the world's passed you by and you can look forward to a few years in a rocking chair muttering about "kids these days" while being cared for by said kids and taking the medications they came up with that consist mainly of "not real" intellectual property.

imo, the key value and importance of NYC would be her state as the largest commercial centre for the whole USA, of which the states produce collectively the largest GDP on earth.

Per latest gov data per state California has the largest GDP in the nation by a wide margin. Of course California is much larger.

New data from the World Bank show that California’s economy was equivalent to the sixth largest in the world.

The World Bank’s annual rankings of countries’ gross domestic products, released on Friday, confirm an analysis published last month by the California Department of Finance.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last month that California’s GDP was $2.5 trillion in 2015, up 4.1 percent from a year earlier.

California saw more economic growth than the United States as a whole, which was up 2.4 percent.

But California’s rise in the global rankings comes largely at the expense of Brazil, which is struggling economically, and France, which was burdened by a weaker currency.

Only five countries produced more last year than California: the U.S., China, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom.
