HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate ticked up in September, as payrolls slid slightly. The state Department of Labor and Industry said Friday that Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate bumped up one-tenth of a percentage point to 4%. The national unemployment rate was 3.5%. Surveys found Pennsylvania’s civilian labor force rose by 12,000, as seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls dropped by 5,000, after hitting a record high earlier this year. The figures are preliminary and could change.
