Daily Briefing, 6/12/2012

Good morning everyone!  Here is today's Daily Briefing.

A new survey by Manpower shows that the number of employees planning to hire in the upcoming quarter is down to 15%, compared to 26% from the same time last year.  In state-wide news, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has released a report slamming UGI for multiple safety violations and fining the company $386,000.  The Jerry Sandusky trial began yesterday in Centre County.  In national news, US Secretary of Commerce John Bryson will be out on medical leave following a seizure that resulted in him getting into two car accidents.  A new survey shows that the average families' net worth dropped a stunning 40% between 2007-2010.

We have two Chamber events today: our LGBT Council is holding an event on Best Practices for Workforce Equality, while the Greater Northern Lehigh & Palmerton Chambers are holding a joint event on a municipal update from many local communities.

And that is it for now.  Have a good one, and we'll see you later!
