A report by WJAC indicates that Pennsylvania has landed in the top 10 of a recent survey that lists states that are the best places to work in America. Employees ere asked to rate their employer based on salary and benefits, reputation, career advancements, education, atmosphere, working hours and quality of work among other categories. Penn State University and Penn Medicine were ranked very high for all of those categories, thus making Pa an attractive place to work. Gov Josh Shapiro took some credit for this survey, stating that he eliminated a requirement to have a 4 year college degree to obtain a state job. The current unemployment rate in Pennsylvania is 4%.
