How much of that is due to the fact that the NY Times, in spite of its nationwide (and worldwide) readership, still tries to be a newspaper for New York specifically, and therefore many local readers of its business section will be on Wall Street or executives in companies headquartered in Manhattan?

There are a lot of news sources that are written primarily to inform investors, like WSJ and Bloomberg. I wouldn't place the NYT in the same niche, although I suppose most business reporting takes a similar perspective. That having been said, NYT has reported on working conditions at various employers as well, along with various other, let's say "negative coverage".
