“Moving On” discusses the effect that September 11th had on the garment industry in Chinatown. One question that I had after reading was simply how have things changed since 2005? A second thought that I had was my surprise at the statistics on the garment industry. “Despite extensive job losses over the last two decades, apparel is one of the two largest manufacturing industries in the city, with annual revenues of $11 billion and 56,600 employees before 9/11” (185). I was surprised to learn that the garment industry is New York City’s “fourth largest export sector,” simply because there seem to me to be other industries that are more prominent in the city (185).
