Related: About this forum51,000 jobs that Corbett bragged about on State jobs website are not in Pa.
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/harrisburg_politics/State-employment-website-lists-thousands-of-foreign-jobs.html#Mlp3iJthIZQoV1yS.99In a debate with Tom Wolf, Corbett said the job market in PA is just great. To prove it, he pointed to the official State government jobs website, which lists "250,000 jobs."
Well, it turns out 51,389 of those jobs are not even in PA. Many are not even close - including jobs in Taiwan, Mexico and Iraq.
"Sure, we know the job market is tough here, but if you are going to vote Democratic, why don't you move to northern Iraq. I hear the nighttime skies are beautiful there this time of year."
It was previously noted that many of the jobs listed on that state jobs website involved prostitution. Here's that link:

(6,819 posts)I just watched the latest debate between Corbett and Wolf.
Corbett actually used his "250,000 available jobs" claim to argue that there is no need to increase the minimum wage.
I guess the idea is that each person is supposed to get 3 of those jobs so they can support their family.
