"I am the only candidate in this race who works everyday to help Illinois working families," Gov. Quinn said. "I'm going to keep fighting to create jobs and grow our economy." According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Illinois has led the Midwest in job creation in 2010, adding more than 50,000 private-sector jobs.

Governor Quinn has worked with Ford, Navistar, UPS, Chrysler, and more than 90 other businesses to save and create thousands of jobs throughout Illinois.

Additionally, he enacted Illinois' first infrastructure improvement plan in 10 years, Illinois Jobs Now!. The plan is projected to create 439,000 jobs in the next six years--improving Illinois' roads, bridges, high-speed internet, and other infrastructure. It has already put 155,000 people back to work. And through the Put Illinois to Work Program, Gov. Quinn created 26,000 jobs in private sector businesses, for workers who otherwise would have required Federal assistance.
