Minimum Wage Impact on Hourly WagesThis research brief examines how a higher statutory minimum wage could impact lower-wage workers and provides employment and hourly wage estimates for certain lower-wage occupations to illustrate that Pennsylvania effective labor market minimum wage is likely in the range of $10.50 to $11.00 per hour. 01/24/2024 |
Gasoline Consumption Remains SubduedThe IFO updated a gasoline consumption research brief published in January 2023 with additional consumption and retail pump price data.

Where Did the workers Go?This research brief updates a prior release in August 2022 to show data for more recent months and new demographic projections from the IFO’s Demographic Outlook report. The IFO published a research brief that examines the factors that caused the PA labor force to contract by 120,000 workers since the start of the pandemic.

Is the Student Loan Moratorium Impacting Employment?The federal student loan moratorium enters its third year.

By contrast, early retirements appear to have played a smaller role in decades-low labor force participation rates. 03/08/2022 |
