This week, a COVID-19 Economic Recovery Business Survey was launched to gather feedback as we work to develop and implement policies to restore Pennsylvania’s struggling economy.
The brief survey is open to employers in all sectors and businesses of all sizes. Survey participants are asked about his or her business or industry and current challenges. The survey also seeks input on the type of assistance that would be most beneficial, the one most impactful thing state government could do to support future success, and any other ideas to kick start the economy.
We must get the Commonwealth on the road to recovery as soon as possible and we can only do that by working together. The survey is open through March 19.

The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Women’s Networking Committee created a brand new monthly series that is open to all young women, called “Get It Girl” Series: Life Skills for Young Women. The first session is being held Thursday, January 28th at 3:30 pm.
“The ‘Get it Girl’ series resulted from a committee discussion on how professional women can share their experiences with younger women in our community”, explains Kim McNulty, Chamber Women’s Networking Committee Chair. “It was wonderful to see the excitement of our members as this series came together in just a few short days. The series will help supplement our Annual Women’s Empowerment Grant. The grant, which is awarded each year to women who are currently employed and want to advance in their career through education or training, is made possible through proceeds we collect at our Women’s Networking events throughout the year, but we wanted to do more”, Kim continued.
