Lehigh Valley finishes 2020 with unemployment rate roughly flat for 3 months
Updated Feb 06, 2021;
The Lehigh Valley ended 2020 with an unemployment rate virtually unchanged for three months, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry reported this week.
The good news is December’s preliminary unemployment rate of 7.1% was 9.6 percentage points lower than the April peak of 16.7% as the coronavirus economic shutdown took hold.
For three months beginning in October, the rate was about flat, starting at 7.2%, rising to 7.3% in November then shrinking again to 7.1% in December.
That’s for the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ Metropolitan Statistical Area covering Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton and Warren counties. Unemployment rates are adjusted for seasonal fluctuations like holiday hiring.
