American workers won't be able to compete fairly for jobs until companies have to pay higher wages in countries like China and India.

If done correctly, strengthening our trade relationship with India will create jobs here in America.

One of the great dilemmas for America will be that American companies will do very well while American workers might not.

If we want to secure the best jobs in the future, we must make America the best place in the world to do business.

Our economy is creating jobs and giving businesses the conditions they need to invest and succeed.

So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.

Over the long term, the only way we're going to raise wages, grow the economy, and improve American competitiveness is by investing in our people - especially their educations.

But the - look, I think that this - the United States of America is still the most powerful economy in the world. It is an incredible engine for creativity and innovation. And it has the most - smartest, most effective workforce in the world. So we have a lot going for us, in spite of the fractiousness of our politics.

If you can attract highly educated people from other parts of the country and keep your own best and brightest, chances are the job creators are going to be successful.

If we want to deliver opportunity for all, we need an economy that delivers jobs for the future.
