U.S. LABOR DEPT. REPORTS FEWER NEW UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS IN PA

There were fewer new unemployment claims last week in Pennsylvania.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, just under 15-thousand Pennsylvanians filed for unemployment the week ending June 20th.  That’s a drop of over three-thousand from the week before.  The decline is a welcome sight for Pennsylvania officials after three straight weeks of increased filings.
