What jobs were available in New York in 1624?
Probably lumberjacks, fisherman, blacksmiths, and farmers. I inferred this because Delaware is right next to New Jersey, which was once only one state together with New York, and according to this website, Delaware's common jobs were lumberjacks, fisherman, blacksmiths, and farmers.
Who was the leader or founder of New York colony?
New York was begun as a Dutch Colony in 1624, a proprietary colony of the Dutch West Indies Company. It was originally the colony of New Netherlands and New York City was originally New Amsterdam. The original Director-General of the colony was Cornellis Jacobzoon May, who was soon succeeded by Willem Verhulst. The best remembered though is the third Director-General, Peter Minuit, who served from 1626-32. It was Minuit who supposedly made the legendary purchase of Manhattan Island for trade goods worth $24. The British took over New York in 1664 as part of the Peace settlement following an Anglo-Dutch war.
