A new study says the end of the employment cliff for Pennsylvania is finally in sight.  On Monday,  IHS Global Insight issued its latest forecast of when states will return to "peak employment" levels-- the level attained before the recession wreaked its job-killing havoc.

Pennsylvania is now expected to surpass its peak employment level next year during the first quarter.  IHS Global Insight says Six states, including New York, have already surpassed previous peak levels.  The firm also predicts that Nevada, Michigan, and Rhode Island are expected to be the last states to recover, in 2018 or later.
