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.
