7% of NY private sector jobs?

This article mentions, almost in passing:

In Albany, a study released Monday by state Assembly Democrats estimated that more than 7 percent of the state’s private sector jobs, accounting for nearly 15 percent of the state’s private sector wages, were threatened or eliminated by the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

Anyone know anything about this statistic? It seems a little exaggerated.

I would guess that they tossed every tourism job into that statistic.
