Pennsylvania (PA) likely to get some more jobs?

 

By passing new legislation the hope is that this will result in thousands of new jobs especially in the contruction industry - do you have your new job?

 

You can't fight a recession by throwing more workers on the unemployment line. You can't improve economic growth and recovery by continuing to redistribute the wealth to the top 1 percent of America.  

As the Legislature gets back to work, their first order of business should be passing transportation funding legislation to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

Gov. Corbett's own experts put the bill at nearly $3 billion, which would just cover the most urgent and needed repairs to our bridges, roads, and mass transit systems.

If it is done right, this will be a real job creator for Pennsylvania. Hundreds of thousands of unemployed construction and manufacturing workers living here in Pennsylvania would be back to work in a matter of months.

Not only would this be an immediate boost to local economies, but improving our roads and bridges will make us even more productive and competitive in moving products and services to customers in the future. There is a reason we are called the Keystone State. Pennsylvania is the hub for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region, and we should be taking more advantage of our position. It's a win/win for both labor and business.
