Jobs

President Barack Obama signed into law a $38 billion piece of legislation on Thursday designed to spur job growth through tax cuts and infrastructure spending, although many economists dispute just how effective the bill will actually be.

"Why Is the recovery jobless? Maybe because it isn't a recovery"

“Joint venture agreements that allow American jobs to be outsourced in the midst of attempting to recover from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression cannot be allowed. Now is not the time to make it easier to ship jobs overseas,” Rep. Tim Bishop said.

While data shows that American productivity has increased exponentially in the past three decades, that is nothing more than a façade given that most of those production gains are driven by off shoring.

Many U.S. lawmakers, leaders of industry and organized labor leaders are concerned that the Trans-Pacific Partnership will turn out to be a much larger version of NAFTA, resulting in massive jobs loss, increased trade deficits, the outsourcing of countless American businesses and further economic instability for America’s middle class.
