HARRISBURG, PA – U.S. Representative Glenn 'G.T.' Thompson (PA-05) today released the following statement regarding the latest unemployment report showing that Pennsylvania’s jobless rate continues to improve under Governor Tom Corbett’s leadership. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the state’s unemployment rate has fallen to 6.0 percent – the lowest level since 2008 and far below the national average of 6.7 percent.

“Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate continues to be in free fall under Governor Tom Corbett’s leadership, and that is great news for Pennsylvanians,” stated U.S. Representative Glenn ‘G.T.’ Thompson (PA-05). “Governor Corbett does what is right for the people of Pennsylvania regardless of political consequence, a stark contrast to President Obama. I would encourage the President to take a look at Governor Corbett’s ‘less taxes, more jobs’ agenda if he is looking for a way to finally get our national economy going again."
