This is correct. NYC is basically sui generis for American cities. As examples, there's essentially no county government and the school system is part of the city government. The school system alone accounts for $20B of the $78B and over 100,000 of the 360,000 city employees...AND those school numbers don't include the $900M for the city-funded-and-operated 4-year university system.
