In 1990, approximately two-thirds of the population of the Times Square <br />Neighborhood above the age of 16 were employed. The Bureau of the Census <br />estimated that 95% of these workers worked in New York City and 88% worked in <br />Manhattan. This is similar to Manhattan's residents in general, of whom 94% worked <br />in the City and 84% in the borough. Compare this to, for example, the Queens <br />workforce, of which only 40% work in their home borough. <br />Similarly, while the mean travel time to work for Manhattan residents was 29 <br />minutes (and that of the other four boroughs was approximately 40 minutes), the <br />mean travel time to work for residents in these six census tracts was 23.16 minutes. <br />Of the Times Square residents who travelled to work, 48%, or almost half, walked. <br />Compare this to 29% of. the Manhattan workforce and less than 10% in the other <br />boroughs..7irnes Square, therefore, has a considerable segment of the. population <br />who spend both their working hours and off -time in the .Times Square Neighborhood. <br />EVER00206 <br />v_ <br />
