In 2017, Manhattan expanded its area codes to serve the growing number of phone numbers needed in the nation’s biggest city. With all that phone traffic, establishing a local presence can help residents recognize your business is a hometown staple, not a national company. Having a local number helps customers see which areas you serve and feel confident you’re in their corner and neighborhood. That helps your business establish loyalty in the city.
From uptown to downtown (and midtown, too), area code 332 includes Manhattan’s urban areas. This area code consists of all of Manhattan, except for Marble Hill. The major city it covers is New York City, NY.
With a population of 8,804,190, it makes sense area code 332 is one overlay for this crowded urban jungle. It serves as an overlay for area code 212 and provides service to the same area. Another overlay area code is 646.
This area code touches one county: New York, New York. However, you can find a few nearby area codes, like 201/551 (Jersey City, NJ), 347/718/929 (New York, NY), 914 (Yonkers, NY), and 917 (New York, NY).
With a local 332 phone number, you can effectively get in front of the right people and establish a foothold in the New York, NY area.
While you’re waiting “on line” and noshing on $1 pizza slices, you may notice that New York City’s population has sagged a little from 2019 to 2020. It’s technically down .24%, but small enough to show Manhattan’s economic core is still a force, with plenty of resources to help millions of business owners and customers find one another.
In the city, the average household income is $107,000, and NYC’s extensive boroughs allow residents the potential to earn more as they start building businesses here in the Eastern Standard Time Zone.
From the Astors to the LeFrak Organization, New York’s economic backbone might seem to be real estate. The reality is much more diverse.
While just about every industry is in the city that never sleeps, the top three sectors in New York, according to the census, are:
Educational services, and health care and social assistance
Professional, scientific, and management, and administrative and waste management services
Finance and insurance, and real estate and rental and leasing
Employers span many industries, but we must admit, banking and finance are represented well in this financial capital of the U.S. Here are the top ten employers in New York City: NYC Department of Education, Citi, Morgan Stanley, Verizon, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, JPMorgan Chase & Co., IBM, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Amazon.
These employers account for thousands of jobs in New York. However, they don’t erase joblessness in the city. New York County, where the city of New York sits, has an unemployment rate of 9.5%.
Some of the unemployed may look to start a new business. Though business applications for new companies fell 2% from 2019 to 2020, the startup survival rate is high at 77%. There’s still plenty to celebrate in this bustling city where startup resources, customers, and economic prosperity are never far away.
