<p><strong>Jobs &amp; Economy Highlights</strong></p>
<p>In September, 2009, the Boston Globe reported that &#8220;Massachusetts is poised to recover from the economic downturn sooner and faster than the nation as a whole.&#8221; (more)</p>
<p>That is no accident. Governor Patrick is leading Massachusetts out of this recession by:</p>
<p>Expanding our global lead in education , ensuring that Massachusetts students are ready for jobs in a changing world</p>
<p>Investing in our infrastructure to create jobs, expand broadband access and finally fix our roads, bridges and public transportation systems.</p>
<p>Focusing on growth in 21st Century industries that are creating thousands of jobs like biotech, clean energy and information technology and leveling business taxes to attract large, out-of-state businesses.</p>
<p>Expediting and supporting development across the state to create jobs and encourage business relocation and expansion</p>
