I understand fully that jobs are created by the private sector, having been all my life in the private sector, but I don't buy the argument that the state has no role to play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jobs are created in the private sector. Not by the president or the government unless they're government jobs.
My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.
We need the private sector to create jobs. If the government could create jobs Communism would have worked, but it didn't.
The way to create jobs is to encourage private sector job creators.
We must never forget that it is the private sector - not government - that is the engine of economic opportunity. Businesses, particularly small businesses, flourish and can provide good jobs when government acts as a productive partner.
You're not going to build private-sector jobs if you don't like business people.
But the real growth I must say in terms of the public sector for the Labor Department is really at state and local levels. That's where the real opportunities are today.
Most people work for the private sector, which cannot exist without profit.
We cannot get serious about helping the private sector create quality jobs without focusing first on the main drivers of our economy - the American middle class and those struggling to enter it.
We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.
