Just in case you missed last night’s State of the Union and wanted to know what the President said about jobs, here are the highlights:
- In the last 22 months businesses have created more than 3 million jobs.
- Last year businesses created the most jobs since 2005.
- American Manufacturers are hiring again.
- Today General Motors is back on top as the world’s number one automaker.
- The American auto industry is back and has added 160,000 jobs.
- If you want to bring jobs back to the US the government will help you succeed starting with taxes.
- Companies should be rewarded by creating jobs here in the US.
- If you’re an American Manufacturer you should get a bigger tax cut.
- If you’re a high-tech manufacturer the tax deduction you receive should be doubled because you’re making your products here.
- If you want to relocate a business to a community that was hit hard, you should get help with financing or training for new workers.
- Growing industries in science and technology have twice as many openings as we have workers that can do the job.
- Model partnerships between companies and community colleges to train 2 million Americans with specific skills that will lead directly to jobs need to continue to happen.
- These reforms will help people get jobs that are open today.
