HARRISBURG, PA – Pennsylvania State Representative Mike Vereb today released the following statement on Pennsylvania’s improving economy under the leadership of Governor Tom Corbett and Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the state’s unemployment rate has fallen to 5.7 percent – the lowest level since September 2008 and far below the national average of 6.3 percent.

“Today’s jobs report is more great news for Pennsylvania thanks to Governor Tom Corbett’s leadership in Harrisburg. Governor Corbett has stood by his promise of less taxes and more jobs even though it wasn’t always the politically convenient thing to do, and that’s great news because it’s working. The choice in November couldn’t be clearer – it’s a choice between a Governor who has kept his promises and one of four Democrats who have all promised to raise taxes if they are elected. I’ll proudly take four more years of Governor Corbett’s less taxes, more jobs agenda.”
