OK:

Pennsylvania 2022 unemployment rate: 3.9%

Pension funded ratio (2019): 58.0%

1 year GDP growth: 4.4%

Poverty rate: 12.2%

Moody's credit rating: Aa3 (AAA is the best)

It's barely an improvement

There’s 3.3 billion in the rainy day fund instead of 200k like when that was initially posted. And the unemployment rate has moved to match the federal level. They’ve also changed some of the tax law to help attract bigger companies to PA with bi-partisan legislation prior to COVID. Keep voting for politicians based on their platform and keep an eye out for people that say they want to address these issues, we got work to do but it’s on us to play our part and elect people to govern well too.

Yeah, they're lowering the corporate tax rate which means the tax burden gets shifted to working Pennsylvanians, because retirees pay no state income tax.

And that rainy day fund won't last long.
