Job creation is a huge issue for moms across the country. There just aren’t enough jobs to go around. Has your family been affected by unemployment? Have you heard any good ideas yet from the candidates regarding how they’ll create jobs?
Get out of the private sector's way, shrink government.
Unemployment has not hit my family, thankfully.
I think the best way to grow the economy and jobs is cut business taxes AND close the tax loopholes. You have to do both together or it won't work. I also think if a corporation sends jobs overseas they then pay an extra tax.
Oh yes it has affect my family. My mom was out of work for 6 months. I can't find a job at all. Thank God I'm able to stay home and go back to school or I don't know what we'd do...
The only person I know who lost a job due to the economy was my brother, but he found another one fairly quick. Two years ago I quit a job I'd had for over 8 years for health reasons, and when I decided I was ready to go back to work, I had a job the next day. My boss decided 3 months ago to open a side business, which is also starting to do well, has employed 5 people to date, and looks to break even this month.
The best way to create jobs is to stop taxing smaller businesses to death. Our government needs to be promoting and encouraging entrepreneurism, and small business. And I have not heard any of the candidates give good, clear, answers as to what they would try to do to help with the job situation.
My family was affected by unemployment in 2009 and it was ROUGH. It took a year for my husband, who had good work experience, ethic, and fluent in two languages, to find a job. I'm not sure how to create more jobs.
Stop taxing the crap out of business owners so they can use that money to hire new people and create new things.
We also need to do something about all the regulations in place now. The guy who started up Home Depot was saying the other day that he would not be able to start his business today, like he did years ago.
And the unemployment problem has affected my family.
tax jobs going over seas to try to keep factories and other like businesses in america to start with.. cut back on the larger government jobs/spending (don't cut away needed jobs like firemen, police officers, and teachers, instead cut away a needless secretary in the larger offices, or a private limo driver that's not needed that's being paid for by our tax dollars).
Not really any good ideas.. they need to stop saying you are creating jobs when you are only creating short term jobs and those that aren't livable wage jobs.
Has my family been affected? yes. We lost our one business because of it (subcontracting for furniture repair). THANKFULLY, we were in the middle of starting up a new business at the time (boat related). Downfall? it's a summer job.. pays the bills from march to november.. but for 3 months, we rely on what we made that summer, and this year it isn't going to cut it. If it wasn't for an inheretance we'd be SOL this year.. as we've had to invest a lot toward equipment replacement etc. Thankfully we are caught up now with that, so next year we should be covered through the winter without any problems.
The thing is, if you cut taxes and regulations on business, that isn't necessarily what they need to create jobs. They need people to be able to by the products they are selling. If people don't have enough money to do that, I don't see how businesses grow. So, help the middle class.
We need to focus on community driven economies, and the localvore movement. Take pride in our own communities, create more urban farming in cities and small businesses that produce what the local people need and want.
