Since 2000, Brooklyn added 1,294 accommodations jobs (a 198 percent increase) while Queens added 876 (37 percent) as its shown in Brooklyn tourist map. Queens is home to 14,750 hotel workers, followed by Brooklyn (10,986), Manhattan (8,324), the Bronx (6,881), and Staten Island (1,819). The study, funded by the Association for a Better New York (ABNY) and Times Square Alliance, shows that Brooklyn has experienced a 198 percent increase and has added 1,294 hotel jobs since 2000—the most jobs of any borough after Manhattan. Meanwhile, nearly 11,000 Brooklyn residents work at hotels throughout the city, second only behind Queens with 14,750 residents.
