Live jobs in Allentown, PA
Growth and openings are national (BLS EP 2024–34) — state-level projections are not in this data pull, so the same national figure is used for every place and we say so rather than guess. † local wage not published for this cell — the score uses the state value and the pay column shows a dash.
