"New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday unveiled a digital map called Made in New York as a resource for job seekers. \nThe map, which plots the city's tech startups, visualizes the commerce hubs within the city and connects jobs seekers with job listings.\n\"We expect this map to be another tool that helps propel our tech industry forward,\" Bloomberg said at Internet Week New York. \"The growth of the tech industry in New York City has been a critical part of weathering the nation's economic downturn, far better than the rest of the country.\" \nAt launch Made in New York features more than 500 local companies across the city's five boroughs. Of those startups, more than 325 are presently hiring. You can sort the map by digital companies, investors, and co-working and incubator spaces.\nThe map plots companies by location, so job seekers can explore their desired neighborhoods. Entrepreneurs can also add their companies to the map.\n\nSEE ALSO: Why Has New York Become a Paradise for Tech Startups?\nBloomberg explained that the city intends to continue making New York a place people want to live.\n\"Creative people want to be around other people and creativity is driving the tech industry,\" Bloomberg said. \"We are making concentrated efforts to support entrepreneurs and startups.\"\n\nNew York is currently the second-highest ranked city in the U.S. for attracting venture capital dollars, ahead of Boston and trailing Silicon Valley. The Mayor also discussed how the city is positioning itself as an education hub for engineers, with the opening of the Cornell and Technion campus on Roosevelt Island.\nThe map was created in partnership between the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, Internet Week NY and the New York Tech Meetup. \nDoes this map look like a valuable tool?
