SUNBURY \u2013 The April jobs report was the exact opposite of many economists predicted, only 266,000 jobs were created, instead of the over 900,000 expected. But Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce Chairman Art Thomas says no one should hang their head, \u201cI think this is a big set up for an explosion later this spring and into this summer. There was resurgence in February and March and now the resurgence is declining, vaccines are increasing, and I think when we sit here next month, we\u2019re going to be very happy with the numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In additional to the low job growth numbers from last month, worker shortages continue to be growing problems nationally. We last told you worker shortages have been especially problematic here in the Valley, with some restaurants forced to close early or be open for shorter hours.<\/p>\n

Thomas says some of the problem still has to be from the current extended unemployment compensation, \u201cThere are people out there that need that extended unemployment, no doubt about it. But there are other people out there that have the option to continue with extended unemployment or go back to work, and I think that\u2019s the pain we\u2019re feeling today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these issues, the chamber says unemployment rates in most of the Valley are some of the best in the state, with Montour County the lowest at 4.6%. Chamber president and CEO Bob Garrett said the area is turning the corner on one part of solving the area\u2019s worker shortage, \u201cThe Greater Susquehanna Valley now, we\u2019ll be able to say, is a \u2018brain gain\u2019 area. I think we\u2019ve turned the corner with education. Community Colleges are certainly part of the solution, they\u2019re not the only solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
