In terms of job creation, every billion dollars invested in the physical infrastructure creates 47,000 new jobs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's estimated for every $1 billion we spend on road construction, nearly 48,000 jobs are created.
We must invest in infrastructure development and rebuilding communities to create jobs.
Not only does investing in your infrastructure provide very good construction jobs, at the end of the project, you have something.
Our country needs to produce 250,000 net new jobs every month just to keep even with population growth.
Spending on infrastructure will help employment.
We can only create good jobs if we make smarter investments in infrastructure and do more to support small businesses, not stiff them.
Infrastructure projects create a lot of demand for material, services and manpower. It is a chain reaction; if the infrastructure growth slows down, it will hit overall demand. The supply side has to keep increasing to sustain growth.
All of our competitors around the world, every country is investing more in infrastructure as a percentage of their GDP than we are. And down the road our children and grandchildren will have to compete with that more and more.
Building new roads and bridges creates jobs. Growing our exports creates jobs. Reforming our outdated tax system and our broken immigration system creates jobs.
Infrastructure spending does not create immediate jobs, and more than half of those jobs will pull from the pool of the already employed.
