Pennsylvania’s Unemployment Rate Drops to 4.9%
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s unemployment fee dropped by two-tenths of a degree in March to 4.9%, one other indication the state’s jobs image continues to strengthen.
The Labor and Business Division stated Friday the lower mirrored the nationwide image, as U.S. joblessness fell by the identical fraction, to three.6%.
The labor power continued to develop, with nonfarm payrolls up by almost 16,000 to some 5.9 million. Will increase have been seen extensively throughout employment classes. Skilled and enterprise providers led the expansion with a achieve of seven,600.
Pennsylvania unemployment is now 2.2 share factors under the place it was one yr in the past. Leisure and hospitality companies have added 70,000 jobs over the previous 12 months.
Labor and Business Secretary Jennifer Berrier says the state “continues to rebound strongly” from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Big spending expected from outside groups
In Pennsylvania, November’s general election will feature three Democrats running to retain their seats, putting Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the line. All three justices — Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht — face a “yes” or “no” vote to win another 10-year term.
Pending in Pennsylvania courts are cases that challenge laws limiting the use of Medicaid to cover the cost of abortions and requiring certain mail-in ballots to be disqualified.
In 2023, business associations, political party campaign arms, Planned Parenthood, partisan advocacy groups, labor unions, lawyers’ groups, environmental organizations and wealthy GOP donors, including Richard Uihlein and Jeffrey Yass, pushed spending above $70 million in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
The Wisconsin race alone topped $51 million, breaking national records for spending on a judicial race.
Abortion rights were the dominant theme in that contest, won by a Democratic-backed judge whose victory gave liberals majority control of the court for the first time in 15 years.
Wisconsin’s race this year is expected to cost even more, with the two candidates already raising more than was brought in at this point in 2023.
Schimel, in an interview last year on WISN-AM, said outside groups “are committed to making sure we take back the majority on this court” and that he was confident “we’re going to have the money to do the things we have to do to win this.”
He recently launched a $1.1 million television ad buy statewide, marking the first spending on TV ads in the race. Crawford went on the air a week later.
Spending exceeded $22 million in Pennsylvania’s 2023 contest won by the Democrat, whose campaign focused on attackingrulings by the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – In order to fight the healthcare staffing crisis in Pennsylvania, the Training and Education Fund will open a new training hub in Western P.A. due to its previous Pittsburgh success.
“We’re excited to be able to expand the great work we’re already doing in these communities,” said Lisa Williams, Executive Director of the Training and Education Fund.
The new training hub is being funded by an almost $400,000 PA Industry Partnership grant in conjunction with the PA Workforce Development Board, the Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Community and Economic Development.
The training hub will partner with Saber Healthcare, Transitions Healthcare, Southern Alleghenies Workforce Development Board and more organizations to bring more caregivers back into the field.
TEF said Pennsylvania’s long-term care industry has been in the middle of a staffing crisis for years but was worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent workforce estimates and data show that around 30 percent of Certified Nurse Aides left bedside care and now there is a very minimal amount of caregivers entering the long-term care field to replace them, according to TEF.
“Pennsylvania desperately needs more well-trained CNAs, training and support programs for people who want to start a career in healthcare as a CNA are often incredibly difficult to access,” said Matthew Yarnell, President of SEIU Healthcare PA.
