Region Adds Jobs, but Needs More July 19, 2021
The Pittsburgh region welcomed back thousands of jobs in June but will need sustained gains to climb back to pre-pandemic employment levels.
“Jobs are up more than you would seasonally expect here for the summer, but it’s still not showing that there’s a broad return to pre-COVID job levels,” said Chris Briem, a regional economist at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Social and Urban Research. “There’s still a long way to go.”
Briem noted that while the job increase from May to June this year was more than typical, the region still had about 70,000 fewer jobs than in June 2019.
