Reform of the PUC in Pennsylvania reshapes agency rules
In a move affecting utilities, Pennsylvania passes two bills reforming the Public Utility Commission. The changes create new bureaus for consumer services and energy planning, require full-time commissioners, ban outside work, curb temporary rate hikes, and mandate annual reviews of fuel adjustments while expanding protections for ratepayers. Governor Shapp calls the measures a first step toward ensuring consumers get a fair shake.

Maximum employment debate on keep-outs drop-outs and push-outs
The article analyzes shifts since the Employment Act, highlighting the rise of keep-outs such as women in the labor force, drop-outs among teenagers, and push-outs among older men. It argues that including these groups would push unemployment higher, questions the era of maximum employment, and cites rising costs of unemployment insurance and extended benefits as evidence for new policy needs.
