HARRISBURG, PA - Corbett-Cawley Campaign Manager Mike Barley released the following statement on the November jobs report:

“Governor Tom Corbett is keeping his promises to put Pennsylvanians back to work and today’s report shows more progress towards that goal. Pennsylvania’s unemployment is down to 7.3%, the lowest it has been since before the recession, and more than 149,000 private sector jobs have been created since Governor Corbett took office in 2011. While the growth is encouraging, Governor Corbett understands there is still work left to do.”

“Despite Washington, DC’s failures that are holding us back, Governor Corbett is putting Pennsylvania back on track. Governor Corbett’s leadership reforming Harrisburg, reducing wasteful spending, keeping taxes low, building a stronger energy sector and investing in a 21^st century, first class transportation network and workforce, is spurring private sector growth and creating more opportunities for future generations.”
