  • Handshake Across the River
    NEWS MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS COURT HOUSE, NORRISTOWN, PA., BOX 311, 19404-0311 PHONE (610) 278-3061 FAX 278-5943 COMMISSIONERS: JAMES R. MATTHEWS, Chairman, JOSEPH M. HOEFFEL, Vice Chairman, BRUCE L. CASTOR, JR, Commissioner RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY 10/20/11 PR#36-11 Handshake Across The River The chief elected officials of Philadelphia, Montgomery County and Lower Merion Township met for a ceremonial “Handshake Across the River” on the Manayunk Bridge Thursday to officially launch a project that will link the communities via a recreational trail across the Schuylkill River. Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter met Montgomery County Commissioners Chairman Jim Matthews and Commissioner Joseph M. Hoeffel and Lower Merion Township Commissioners President Elizabeth S. Rogan midway across the span to make the announcement. “When the Mayor first talked about establishing the Metropolitan Caucus, we were looking for ways to partner with our neighbors and this project was one of the first to come up,” Chairman Matthews said. “I’m thrilled to see it finally get underway. It will be an absolutely gorgeous gateway between our communities.” When finished, a walking and bicycling trail across the iconic Manayunk Bridge will connect Lower Merion Township’s recently completed Cynwyd Heritage Trail with Dupont and High Streets in Manayunk. From there, it’s just a short walk to the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Manayunk. “The Manayunk Bridge serves as a bright example of regional partners and community groups collaborating to achieve something great,” said Mayor Nutter. “I am excited for this project because it strengthens the connection between Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, encourages exercise and recreation, and enables all residents to enjoy the beautiful landscape that we share.” “Today we shake hands in a ceremonial fashion, but it symbolizes how the Township, Montgomery County and the City of Philadelphia have collaborated to fulfill a vision that, as individual entities, we couldn’t have accomplished,” Board President Rogan said.

  • 1 May 18, 2021 the Honorable Darrell Clarke
    May 18, 2021 The Honorable Darrell Clarke City Council President City Hall, Room 490 Philadelphia, PA 19107 Dear Council President Clarke, This letter is in response to questions raised by Councilmembers during the FY22 Council Budget Hearing for the Budget Office on May 5, 2021. At this hearing, the following question was asked: 1. Councilmember Parker: From the mid-90's to now, there about 25,000 new jobs created. What percentage were white collar versus blue collar? While the exact percentage of blue collar jobs by tax cuts is unknown, there remains little doubt that blue collar jobs, service jobs, and public jobs have changed since tax cuts were implemented. Below please find a summary of findings from an analysis of Total Full-Time and Part-Time Employment data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, 1990-2019, prepared by Philadelphia Works, Inc. The share of Philadelphia Employment attributed to Blue Collar industries decreased from approximately 23% in 1990 to 18% by 2000. A significant drop occurred between that year and 2001, when Blue collar employment fell to 14%. Following this time period, the year-over-year decrease slowed through 2003. At that point, it remained stable until the Great Recession. As of 2019, Blue Collar employment made up 13% of all Philadelphia employment. This represents a return to pre-Great Recession levels. The year-over-year trend in the share of Philadelphia employment attributed to Blue Collar industries between 1990 - 2019 closely mirrored that of the entire Southeastern PA region and the United States overall. As a point of comparison, Blue Collar employment represented 31% of all US employment and 30% of all Southeastern PA employment in 1990.
