| Abstract: Since the start of the credit crisis, labor markets in the 50 states have generally weakened. As the national unemployment rate rose from 4.7 percent to 5.5 percent from September 2007 to June 2008, the vast majority of U.S. states also saw rising unemployment rates. Within the Fourth District, Pennsylvania was the only state adding employment over the period.

| Abstract: The Fourth District’s unemployment rate notched up 0.1 percent in June, reaching 6.2 percent. The increase can be attributed to monthly increases in the number of people unemployed (0.6 percent) along with a decrease in the number of people employed (−0.3 percent). Since the same time last year, the Fourth District’s unemployment rate has increased 0.6 percentage point, while the nation’s has increased 1.1 percentage points.

Economic Trends |
| Abstract: The relationship between economic growth and human capital is well established in economics. Looking at Fourth District states, Kentucky and Pennsylvania have above-average growth in the share of the population with both four-year and advanced degrees, while Ohio had below-average growth in both categories. West Virginia had a higher-than-average growth rate in four-year degrees, but the state remains the lowest ranked of the 50 states, with only 1 in 6 adults over 25 having earned a four-year college degree.

| Real Income Growth across Metropolitan Areas
|
June, 2008 |
|
Kyle Fee; Timothy Dunne; |
Economic Trends |
| Abstract: The economic performance of different regions is often compared by looking at differences in per capita income growth. Before income growth can be compared, though, it has to be adjusted for inflation. Often, a national price index is used to make the adjustment. But prices can grow at different rates in different areas of the country, and when regional price indexes are used instead of a national index to adjust the data on income growth, it can make a big difference.

Kyle Fee; Timothy Dunne; |
Economic Trends |
| Abstract: Since this time last year, both the Fourth District and the national unemployment rates have increased by 0.7 percentage point. The district’s unemployment rate jumped 0.4 percent for the month of March. The increase in the unemployment rate can be attributed to increases in the number of people unemployed (6.6 percent) and the labor force (0.1 percent), along with a decrease in the number of people employed (−0.3 percent). The district’s unemployment rate was higher than the national rate in March (by 0.6 percent), as it has been since early 2004.

| Abstract: The Erie metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is located in the northwest corner of Pennsylvania on Lake Erie. Home to 279,811 people, Erie, a Great Lakes city, has an employment history of heavy industry and manufacturing. In 2006, Erie was still heavily invested in manufacturing industries, having about an 80 percent higher proportion of its workforce in manufacturing than the nation as a whole. Meanwhile, Erie?s service industry workforce was proportionately higher in health services industries relative to the nation and lower in information, financial, and professional business and services industries.
