A strong economy begins with a strong, well-educated workforce.

There is a strong link between the following three things: exporting, manufacturing and the degree of saving by the population. It's complicated, but if the population doesn't save, the economy will not tend to export as much, and if it doesn't export as much, it won't manufacture enough.

Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth.

If productivity grows, the economy does well.

Well, our economy is very strong and growing. We have created 5.4 million new jobs in the last 3 years. Our unemployment rate is better than the average unemployment rate of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

With the rather stable ratio of labor force to total population, a high rate of increase in per capita product means a high rate of increase in product per worker; and, with average hours of work declining, it means still higher growth rates in product per man-hour.

Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.

When people are healthy and not hungry, they are stronger workers building a robust economy.

If you're going to grow the economy, if people are going to have more income, you have to have stability in the marketplace.

The economy is designed to serve the individual.
