President Obama is scheduled to give his 11,319th speech of his (too long) presidency Thursday as the pregame show for the first NFL game of the season.
Obama ignores advice that doesn’t fit into his worldview. Which is why his speech will include nothing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce would suggest would actually create jobs:
At Wednesday’s Labor Day briefing, Chamber Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Dr. Martin Regalia explained that businesses will hire when the economy grows fast enough to make it profitable to hire more workers.
Watch this video from Regalia’s presentation. Also, read his recent post where he explains the critical connection between economic growth and job creation.
Persistently high unemployment requires the focused attention of our leaders and a plan of action not hatched in fantasy land. That’s why the Chamber will be sending a detailed jobs plan to the president and Congress next week.
