What is an "information" job? I've always noticed that sector seems to lose jobs and I dont have much of an idea what they are.

Furthermore, Pennsylvania has added more than 50,000 jobs year over year in every month since April 2014. Lastly, revisions don't have to be downward. The numbers can be revised upward too.
I deal with the numbers on a regular basis, so I am fully aware of this. I am also aware of how the estimates are calculated, so that is why I say to temper your expectations in regards to the area numbers for the last few months. The statewide estimate is not usually too far of in regards to the total, but sometimes the area totals can be suspect.

That said, recent trends have been better than they were not too long ago.
