HARRISBURG, Pa. (KDKA) - Gov. Josh Shapiro signed his first executive order on Wednesday, announcing that 92% of state government jobs won't require a four-year college degree.
The executive order means that effective immediately, about 65,000 jobs don't require a degree. A new website shows over 500 job postings that Pennsylvanians can apply for even if they didn't graduate from a four-year college.
"Every Pennsylvanian should have the freedom to chart their own course and have a real opportunity to succeed. They should get to decide what's best for them – whether they want to go to college or straight into the workforce – not have that decided for them," Shapiro said.
