Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, it is clear that we've got big problems that we need to address, starting with making our economy more competitive so that we can create more good-paying jobs for the middle class.

You cannot solve the economy in this country by creating government jobs.

Jobs are critically important, but looking at economic change through the impact on jobs has always been a difficult way to think about economic progress.

The problem is that we are trying to prepare people for the new economy using a higher education system built for the old economy. As a result, many high-skilled, high-paying industries suffer from a shortage of labor, while too many low-paying industries suffer from a surplus.

The president's economic plan doesn't do enough to create new jobs and that has to be a national priority. While there are some signs the economy is improving, it is not translating into jobs.

The issue isn't just jobs. Even slaves had jobs. The issue is wages.

The number one focus of the American people has been jobs and the economy.

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

The smartest thing we can do to create high-wage jobs and grow our economy is to keep our focus on education.

Everybody is talking today about the economy.
