· 94,000 jobs have disappeared from New York City in the past six months, costing the city $800m.
· $100m worth of art was destroyed in the collapse of the World Trade Centre, including a huge tapestry by Joan Miro and a 25ft metal mobile by Alexander Calder. Some of this art has been recovered: the broken pieces of a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, from a collection owned by Gerald Cantor, can be seen at Fresh Kills salvage site.
· 343 people from the New York Fire Department died in the attacks. They expect to have recruited around 900 new firefighters by the summer. Nearly 2,000 firefighters have sought counselling since September and 350 are still on stress-related medical leave.
· 380,000 New Yorkers who lost their medical insurance as a direct result of the attack have enrolled in government-backed emergency health programmes. 32,900 have applied for food stamps, usually reserved for the homeless or unemployed.
· Seven of the 11 subway stations closed by the attack have now reopened.
· Because of a ban on single-occupant vehicles on some bridges rush-hour traffic in Manhattan has declined by 16 percent since 11 September. Up to 65,000 more passengers a day use the ferries.
· 78 British people died in the World Trade Centre attacks. The youngest was 22-year-old Vincent Wells, an employee of Cantor Fitzgerald. The British World Trade Centre Disaster Fund has raised $7m for the families and victims of the attacks.
