Pittsburgh Region Adds 9,200 Jobs in May

It's been almost a month since my last post. That's not because there hasn't been any good news. I was just on vacation, etc. Onward to the news...

The region's economy improved again, adding over 9,200 jobs last month. And Allegheny County's unemployment rate of 3.9% was well below the national avergae of 4.5% as well as the state average of 4.2%

Naysayers point out that this job growth rate is still barely a trickle in a region with 1.15 million jobs. But I ask you- isn't it better than LOSING jobs? Be patient, people. It IS getting better.
