New York Civil Service

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the current status of New York City's police and fire services, focusing on the need to maintain or improve the morale and efficiency of the city's civil service. Given the city's commitment to budget cuts and vocal opposition to salary cuts, the city is faced with two options. Either it must change the way that it works, or fire thousands of people. In this environment, it is essential that the city retain the commitment of its employees. The paper includes copies of the interview questions and answers used in this study.

From the Paper:

"New York City seems on the verge of a looming crisis. With a dwindling revenue base and newfound obligations associated with security issues, it has been the task of the Bloomberg administration not only to continue Giuliani's legacy of responsible city management but merely to keep the city solvent. Among one of the main tasks facing the city's administration has been to maintain or improve the morale and efficiency of the city's civil service. If seen as a separate country, the economy of New York City rank 14th among the world's largest economies; larger than Australia, the Netherlands or Russia."
