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?

  1. with the jobs going down peple have been struggling more. For example we have a friend of the familly and he lost his job and now he is trying relly hard to get another job but there just aint one out there that fits him . The only ones he can find he needs schooling and that cost money which isnt easy to get for everyone.
