In Pennsylvania, jobs are on the line.
With the economy in the doldrums, it is getting harder and harder for people to find a job. But here in Pennsylvania, there are well-paying jobs that are in jeopardy, and it is not because of the weak economy. Politicians in Washington D.C. are considering legislation that would make all student loans government run, which could take hundreds of jobs out of Pennsylvania.
We strongly support the President’s call for student loan reform. But we can achieve smart, effective reform that’s in the best interest of students, parents, and schools without sacrificing jobs here.
