As the final days of his administration wind down, President Joe Biden is looking back at his accomplishments, especially those in his adopted home state of Pennsylvania.

And others are taking note as well.

“With an unemployment rate more than halved from when President Biden took office and nearly $30 billion invested in public infrastructure, clean energy, and manufacturing, the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered for Pennsylvanians,” said Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee.

“As President Biden leaves office, Pennsylvania is stronger than ever with hundreds of thousands of new jobs – including high-paying union jobs, caps on prescription drug costs, and billions of dollars canceled in student loan debt for Pennsylvanians. The investment and commitment the Biden Administration made into Pennsylvania will benefit the commonwealth for decades to come.”

Biden will deliver his farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office tonight at 8 p.m. ET.

The President says he has always believed it is important to ask yourself in public service “have we left the country in better shape than we found it?'”

The answer “is a resounding ‘yes,'” he said at a DNC holiday event in December. “Because of all of you assembled here, we can be proud we’re leaving America in a better place today than we came here four years ago,” Biden said.

Examples include:

Employment

Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate is down to 3.5% (November 2024). When President Biden took office, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate was 7.4%.

Pennsylvania has added 565,300 jobs, including over 30,000 energy jobs, since President Biden took office (as of November 2024), after losing 275,300 jobs during Trump’s first term.

Investment

Under the Biden administration, private companies in Pennsylvania have announced $7 billion in investment in clean energy and manufacturing.

The Biden administration has announced $22.2 billion in investment in public infrastructure in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is home to two new regional clean hydrogen energy hubs thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The Philadelphia region’s clean hydrogen hub is expected to create over 20,000 union jobs, and the Appalachian hub that includes Southwestern Pennsylvania is expected to create 21,000 jobs.

Health Care

Pennsylvania’s Affordable Care Act Marketplace enrollment has increased to 472,000, up from 332,000 in 2020.

Over 2.4 million Pennsylvania seniors will benefit from insulin capped at $35 per month, a $2,000 cap on yearly out-of-pocket prescription costs, and Medicare negotiations for common drugs thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. 830,000 Pennsylvania Medicare beneficiaries will save an average of $467 a year on prescription drug costs.

Thanks to President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, Pennsylvania extended Medicaid postpartum coverage from two months to 12 months to improve maternal health.

Education

162,000 Pennsylvanians have had over $6.4 billion in student debt canceled under the Biden-Harris administration.
