ANNAPOLIS, MD (November 23, 2010) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued this statement today on the addition of 5,900 jobs in Maryland for October. This represents the largest year-to-date jobs gain in Maryland since 2000, as Maryland continues to outpace the rest of the nation, adding jobs at more than twice the rate of other states.
“Today’s announcement is another positive sign for families and businesses in our State. Since January, as many other states have struggled to come through this national recession, Maryland employers have added 40,600 jobs to the payrolls.”
