Press release from the issuing company
Friday, July 9th, 2010
Double-digit unemployment has all the candidates for governor this year touting plans to create jobs and attract new business to the state.
Many of them want to use the tax system to give breaks to companies that hire or to potential investors. Virtually all of them talk about working to attract more biotech and other high-tech industries. And some want to create jobs by increasing government spending.
Creating work is such an important issue because the state has lost about 337,000 jobs since the beginning of the recession, according to the state Department of Labor.
