President Obama was in the Lehigh Valley on Friday to talk about plans for economic help on the horizon for the region, reports The Washington Times.
Though the global economy has shifted largely from manufacturing to information technology, Mr. Obama said, Pennsylvania towns can still create new jobs by redeveloping their infrastructure to meet new demands and by pursuing jobs related to "green" technology.
The president also told the hundreds who assembled at Lehigh Carbon Community College that on Tuesday he will present Congress with a detailed plan on how to "jump start" hiring in the private sector.
