Questionable listings taken off Pa. job site
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania job-seekers now have fewer options on a state employment website. The state has pulled listings for bachelor party dancers, “car dates” and other jobs that might not be good resume material.
The site, jobgateway.pa.gov, was scrubbed of objectionable listings after they became fodder in a political skirmish.
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett touted the value of the website during a debate with his Democratic challenger, Tom Wolf.
Not long after, Wolf allies called attention to some of the questionable content — including ads for female hostesses to entertain VIPs. Officials say a firm does filter postings. But they say the search terms used to keep out unwanted content don’t always work.
