People are really worried about their jobs. That's what everybody talks to me about today.

I've met graduating college kids facing loan payments and a bad economy, and they are worried that they won't be able to get a job. This is not the way America needs to be.

Above and beyond the question of how to grow the economy there is a legitimate concern about how to grow the quality of our lives.

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.

Listen, I think what's best for the economy and to create jobs is to extend all of the current tax rates - for all Americans. It - it begins to reduce the uncertainty. And for small businesspeople, they can look up and begin to plan.

I think we ought to talk about what the American people want, and that is jobs and get the economy on track.

I remain deeply concerned about falling wages and the lack of good jobs for Americans. Too many of our citizens are either stuck in place or falling behind, and too often their needs are forgotten.

We need to prepare our kids for a 21st Century economy, and we're not doing it with our schools.

I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.

When it comes to the economy, my highest priority as President will be worrying about your job, not saving my own.
