Brooklyn has seen a steady increase in financial back-office operations in Manhattan over the past few years. This is in addition to the rapid growth in a high-tech, entertainment and business community in DUMBO.

Brooklyn Navy Yard was established in 1801, and at its peak, it employed over 70,000 people. It was the largest employer in the borough. Industrial design firms, food processing companies, artisans, as well as the film and TV production industry are some of the later tenants. The Yard is home to approximately 230 private-sector companies that provide 4,000 jobs. Services and construction are the fastest-growing sectors.
