New Unemployment Figures Released for Blair County


The Altoona Mirror has reported that the unemployment rate decreased in Blair county in October but increased in three neighboring counties.


What effect has the economic recession had on communities and families in our school district?  How is your family and/or friends and neighbors coping with the recession?

I personaly know many of my friends familys have struggled on the subject of how to just get food on their tables due to job pay cuts or just the lack of good buisnes.
