In addition to the monthly roundtable discussion, the Philadelphia Mastermind Group had the pleasure of hearing from Robin Hildick of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the importance of labor and unemployment rates as an economic metric, he offered a snapshot of the Philadelphia market in comparison with other major cities in the northeast, as well as nationwide. He also looked at various sectors that have risen and fallen since the last recession, highlighting a trend that echoed through the roundtable discussion regarding the importance of “Eds & Meds” in Philadelphia’s growth, not only with jobs but also in real estate development.
