Corry Journal Letter Calls discouraging job figures misleading
The Corry Evening Journal editorial lambasts U.S. labor statistics claiming 1.1 million discouraged workers are not counted as unemployed, skewing March’s 8.7 percent rate. It argues inflation distorts GNP and that personal income misleads, citing benefits in unemployment as part of income and tax comparisons across nations.

City stalls on building senior citizens center in Fourth Ward
The city drags on a sale planned for January or February to fund a senior citizens center under the Fourth Ward Urban Renewal Project. A $16,000 county grant could back an auction or building remodel, but officials doubt the money’s availability while Meals on Wheels, nutrition, and a Corry Erie bus program await federal and county support. The article urges city officials to invite GECAC for clarity as federal revenue funding is earmarked for senior programs and cannot be redirected.
