The latest Philadelphia Works Quarterly Labor Market Report takes a closer look at the forces shaping Philadelphia’s economy: who’s working, who’s hiring, what jobs pay, and where disparities persist.

Philadelphia’s labor market held steady in July.
The labor force grew slightly, while total employment was virtually unchanged. The number of unemployed residents rose modestly, leaving the unemployment rate at 4.9% for the second consecutive month.
Employment is growing, but Black and brown residents still face barriers to opportunity. Apprenticeships, training and career fairs can help employers discover overlooked talent and connect more Philadelphians to meaningful careers. Read more. ow.ly/22ja50ZFl5c
3 decades ago, Will Bowie was just a kid from North Philly. Today he's CEO of a nine-figure construction company.
The bridge between those two facts was an apprenticeship.
He also sits on our board. When we talk career pathways, we're not theorizing.

More than 2K new unemployment claims filed in three #Philly ZIP codes: 19143, 19124, 19140. Private wages up 1.3%. Prices up 3.5%. Philly does not have one labor market. It has several, and they are not converging.
