HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s workforce grew again in May as the state’s unemployment rate sank to another post-pandemic low. New state figures released Friday show Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate dropped two-tenths of a percentage point to 4.6% from April’s rate. The national rate was 3.6% in May. In a survey of households, the labor force grew by 30,000. The state’s labor force is rebounding after falling during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a separate survey of employers, non-farm payrolls in Pennsylvania grew in May by almost 7,000. At just above 5.9 million, payrolls are at their highest point since hitting a record high of nearly 6.1 million just before the pandemic, according to state figures.
