If you're out of work, you don't need a crystal ball to know things haven't improved much. The economic recovery has been lifeless. Where are all the jobs?
They say the national unemployment rate is 10%, but for the 600,000 Pennsylvanians on the unemployment line it might as well be 100%.
Heating costs going up, gas prices going up, people who do have jobs are working harder for less pay... and another holiday coming where our kids might have less to look forward to than they deserve. Our families, communities, and way of life in Pennsylvania are being threatened by the lasting effects of this state's unemployment situation.
We can't let this drag on any longer.
Imagine if every Pennsylvania business added one job. Imagine how we could severely cut the state's unemployment. Imagine you making a difference in somebody's life and being a part of gigantic movement to put PA's economy back on its feet. FOX43 does Imagine!
FOX43 challenges you to ADD ONE JOB. If every Pennsylvania business could add one job, we could severely cut the state's unemployment.
To prove how much we believe in this idea, we are adding three jobs at FOX43. We know these are hard times. But that's exactly why we have to do it! Please add your business to the ranks of those that have the vision and ability to ADD ONE JOB.
We at FOX43 pledge to recognize all companies who join us by announcing your commitment on our air, on FOX43.com, and on FOX43 News. We may even produce a news story about you joining the Add One Job movement!
Together, we can get Pennsylvania back to work!
