The terror attacks have had a big impact on New York State. The state figures to lose $22 billion in income by the end of 2003, according to a report prepared for the state Senate.

For more information see reports on the economic impact of 9/11 by the New York State Senate, The Daily News, the Milken Institute, and the Gotham Gazette.
