SEWN Saves "Jobs that Pay"

“We need to rebuild the middle class, and we can do that by creating good jobs right here in Pennsylvania.”

– Governor Tom Wolf

Governor Wolf went on to explain that, “To rebuild the middle class, we need new ideas to create jobs that pay and policies that support our manufacturing and new growth industries.”

And it’s no wonder that Governor Wolf focused on the manufacturing sector. According to the most recent statistics released by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, Center for Workforce Information and Analysis, the average Pennsylvania wage is $52,160 as of February, 2017. The average Pennsylvania manufacturing wage is $59,564 – approximately 14% higher.
