If a town has 10 people and 9 of them get laid-off that is a disaster, but if NYC loses 20 jobs not so much.</p> <p></p> http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/7636-cities-with-most-job-losses?comment_id=104765 http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/7636-cities-with-most-job-losses?comment_id=104765 <p>Guess the per capita analysis makes some of this much more terrifying for some cities. In NYC there are 8.2 million people and 33,000 or so job losses. Compare that to Chicago with the same number of job losses but only 2.8 million people--that is, Chicago is about 1/3 the size of NYC but has the same number of job losses. So as tough as it seems in NYC right now, according to these numbers, things are 3x worse in Chicago in terms of job losses.</p> http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/7636-cities-with-most-job-losses?comment_id=104517 http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/7636-cities-with-most-job-losses?comment_id=104517 <p>michaelkyleh, here is a concept that might help you make better sense of these numbers: PER CAPITA.
