RGA Chairman Chris Christie: Gov. Tom Corbett’s Pro-Jobs Policies Get Results In Pennsylvania

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Governors Association Chairman Chris Christie issued the following statement in response to new unemployment figures released by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry today:

“The vast improvements in workforce participation included in this new report is good news for each and every Pennsylvanian, and moreover, a testament to the strength of the pro-jobs, pro-growth policies Governor Tom Corbett has instituted in the Keystone State. With Governor Corbett at the helm, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate has dropped to 6.2% and fallen below the national rate, a sure sign the state is on the right track. Republican governors across the country are following through on their promises to revive state economies just as Governor Corbett has, and his leadership on this front will no doubt drive continued forward progress in Pennsylvania.”
