Paramids are cool and all but I was curious who we thought would creat to most jobs? Or, who would create the best environment for job creation? I'm sticking with the slogan..."the best social program is a job". I haven't been paying close attention to my party and I won't until Trump is out of the picture. He's the type of guy that may be right but because he is the way that he is...you don't want to agree with him. Back to my question...who gets the most Americans working?
To the extent that the President has control over that, and I'd argue that the Fed and Congress probably have more control and both of them are subordinate to larger macroeconomic forces, there's not a lot
any president will be able to do to get the unemployment rate down: it's humming along at about 5% right now, which is generally considered to be optimal. Granted, there are some real questions about participation rates, but those seem to be a part of a larger pattern.
In the long term, I think the candidate who is best for employment will be the one who invests the most in our country's human capital and infrastructure. Traditional blue collar jobs are on their way out, permanently. What hasn't been outsourced or automated soon will be. America's future, America's comparative advantage, lies in its creativity and in order to take advantage of that we need smart people. I haven't paid enough attention to any campaign to know, but if it's jobs you're concerned about you should be looking through platforms to see whose going to invest in a) improving our human capital and b) modernizing our public infrastructure so that it can adapt to the demands of the 21st century.
