America Produces 2.29 Million Jobs In Last 12 Months But PA Ranks 49th In Jobs Growth

First, the good fact. America created 2, 296,000 new jobs from July 2013 to July 2012.  The national jobs growth rate was 1.72%.  That's steady growth, though no boom.

And now for the Pennsylvania story and bad fact.

Pennsylvania ranks a pitiful 49th in jobs growth over the last 12 months. Don't believe it? See this:

Read and weep!  And let's remember that Pennsylvania now ranks second in natural gas production.

Voters in 2014 can decide to reject the failed economic and jobs policies of Tom Corbett and his allies.
To correct Corbett's mistakes, I have an 8-point detailed Jobs Plan that would create 382,000 jobs. See hangerforgovernor.com.
