Jobs For Pennsylvanians

The natural gas industry, while relatively new in Pennsylvania, has the potential to be a driving force in the Commonwealth’s economy for years to come.  This one industry has already created 72,000 new job hires and, since 2007, has generated more than one billion dollars in natural gas related revenue.  It’s a simple equation: Energy=Jobs.

This proposal will build on this progress and will help create jobs for Pennsylvanians.  It calls for partnering with academic institutions and industry to develop training needed for present and future job opportunities, as well as better aligning
unemployed residents with existing job opportunities. In addition, the proposal helps expand relationships with regional economic development partners to help suppliers adapt and market their products and meet industry standards. It also focuses on providing job opportunities for returning Armed Forces veterans.
