DRUMS -- Governor Wolf was in Luzerne County Friday for part of his Jobs That Pay tour across the commonwealth.

The governor visited the Web.com call center in Drums Friday morning.

Wolf commended the business for closing a call center in the Philippines and adding 74 new jobs at this location .

"Productivity is really high in the United States and so this is a big trend," said Wolf. "People tried the alternative. It didn't work, and so businesses are coming back to the United States and I want them to come back to Pennsylvania."

The governor expects northeastern Pennsylvania to benefit from a trend of re-shoring which is reversing the trend of plants closing in the U.S. and moving overseas.
