The city workforce is expected to increase for the first time since the start of the pandemic, according to a report by State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office.

Between last July, the start of the fiscal year, and January, the municipal workforce grew by 2,413 employees to 284,330 full-time employees, according to Wednesday’s report.
