Two Pay Areas Show Jobless Rate Over 6%
United States labor data show more than one third of major labor areas with unemployment above 6 percent. Two Pennsylvania regions Philadelphia and Hazleton Wilkes Barre posted higher jobless totals due to local industry losses and weak openings. The Labor Department notes 62 of 150 major areas hit 6 percent or more with several smaller Pennsylvania localities also above the threshold. Firms in high unemployment zones gain bidding preference on certain federal contracts if they hire disadvantaged workers. Other small Pennsylvania areas added to the list include Emporium Huntingdon Punxsutawney St Marys and the Elk County community of St Marys.

Judges in Reno Jail Hoax Learn Sobering Lesson
A group of five judges and one judge from Minnesota were briefly jailed in Reno as part of a National College of the State Judiciary seminar hoax to show prisoners’ view of jail life. They were released after about 30 minutes and later acquitted in a three-hour trial. The stunt aimed to highlight policing communication gaps and jail conditions. Also noted is a film update on Hollywood Hollywood to feature 1930s songs and 1970s context next year.
