HARRISBURG, PA – The Corbett-Cawley campaign today released the following statement from Governor Tom Corbett following another positive jobs report for Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the state’s unemployment rate has fallen to 5.7 percent for the month of April – the lowest level since September 2008 and far below the national average of 6.3 percent.

“The people of Pennsylvania elected me to Harrisburg on my promise of less taxes and more jobs, and we continue to see that promise ringing true through another positive jobs report,” stated Governor Tom Corbett. “The Democrats running for governor are all calling for more spending and more tax increases, but we already know how that story ends – it ends with an 8.1 unemployment rate and out-of-control spending. Pennsylvania cannot afford to go back to those days, and as your Governor, we never will.”
