What I would do to create more jobs is to open up more businesses. For example there is only one Wendy’s out by route 10, and absolutely none in Morristown. What I am saying is that we should open up more Wendy’s buildings. Not only will it help the company gain some money, but it will get more workers.
So, people should start to open more buildings in different towns or communities. These poor people can now gain money and the companies will flourish.

I would lower the payment of minimum wage to 7% instead of 7.25%. This would make the company owners pay less. Doing this would make a lot of people get more jobs and the business will grow bigger.
If this happened this would be very good because this would make more businesses will grow and a lot more jobs will become open. This would be a good thing because this would make the economy get better. This would also make the stock market do better. This idea I believe that this would be a huge success

There is a huge unemployment rate right now in the United States. To create more jobs we must create more cheap restaurants and stores. Stores and restaurants such as Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Walmart, etc. thrive in this kind of time because people don’t want to spend a lot of money. By creating more cheap establishments, more people can be hired, making the unemployment rate gradually decrease. If it decreases about .75% a year then we will be out of this depression within 10 years. It sounds crazy, but fast food is the way out of this slump. Yes, it is sad that burgers and fries will save the United States.

A way I feel I could help increase employment would be by advertising local businesses that need an extra hand. This would definitely attract people looking for jobs, and may motivate anyone who is out of work but isn’t looking. This would eventually raise the employment rate at least in your area. If this does work in our area we could advertise other videos in other towns from the web. If it expands greatly it could actually have a large effect on the employment rate in the U.S.A. However, this would only work if a large group of people helped. However it does come down to how lazy the unemployed people are.

I would create new jobs by telling the government to make a lottery for people who don’t have jobs. This would help them out by getting them money to go to college then they could get a job.

Michael V. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?
I would build more buildings so that more businesses would be available. People would be able to work for more jobs. If we build more buildings, for work, then probably everyone in the world would have a job. There will be more open jobs and more choices to pick.

I would help create more jobs in the U.S.A. by telling the government to stop using Chinese or other countries for labor instead of using our own people. The unemployment rate in America is at an all-time high. We are creating more jobs for people in other countries when we could employ thousands of Americans. Though the other countries provide labor for a cheaper price, Americans without a job now would understand that they would earn a lower salary if they did have a job.
We send millions of products to other countries, especially China, to be made. If we stop or at least lower the products being made in different countries, millions of jobs would be needed here in America. There are plenty of unemployed people looking for work. A large portion of Americans aren’t very skilled or educated; however, this type of work doesn’t need any of that. I think that this could work very well.

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

Some jobs I would create are to build more homes or shops. If I did that there would be a rise in jobs in New Jersey or the country. If I got this going there would be more people living in homes and not on the street and there would be more job. If I could make this happen it would be amazing.

Emma P. said...

To create more jobs in the United States, I would do a few things. One I would start a billion dollar corporation that spread out in a chain all over the country. Like a new store or something. There would be a lot of chains everywhere and this could create more jobs for people everywhere in the country. Also I would wish that Obama would make more jobs available. There could me more government jobs like people who fix roads and other problems. Basically I would also want employers to start hiring more. If we had more jobs available the unemployment percentage would go down. With less unemployment then eventually we can get out of this recession and have a better economy.

Another suggestion as to what I would do is also post more advertisements. This will gain the people’s attention and would want to go to this place. Along with the newly added buildings, they will need a lot more workers to help with the crowd. Thus, allowing more income to go to the workers and companies will begin to rise.

CREATIVE HATS: ON!!!!!
To produce more jobs in the United States of America, the government could buy some run-down stores, shops, buildings etc. and they could fix them up and use them. Another way is that those new, vacant office buildings on Tabor Road, could be knocked down and they could build another park.(For both ideas people could invest and buy "stocks") For my first idea all across the U.S. they could hire people and have them go out in the country and take a count of empty, unused buildings. The government could buy a FRACTION of the buildings, fix them up, if any fixing is needed, and try to start successful businesses, and the money they make with that they could use to pay for the employees’ wages, and for the expense of the fixing up. My second idea where they knock down both the Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and those new buildings and build a park, they could go even further. They could build a track, sand area, playground and a mini-3-D display of the town, they would build the town in a 3-foot dimension. They could plant some trees and gardens, they could pay the employees with the admission: $2.50 per person. We could do this all across the state, even the country! These two ideas combined could make thousands of dollars, millions maybe!

If I had the opportunity to create jobs in the U.S I would help build homes for the homeless. If I got an organization going I could pay them with the tax payer’s money, and that would get the homeless back on their feet. Meanwhile, putting the people who were recently out of a job.
Also, I would provide the homeless with clothes to go out and apply for a job. Instead of giving the taxpayer’s money to Africa we could cut back and give some to America. We need to help out America way more than we are now!

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

There are massive unemployment rates in the USA. I would make more business with reasonable prices. Examples are Burger King, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s. These fast food restaurants offer decent pricing and availability. It would create many jobs if many more were opened. There are few existing in Morris County. Though, people would be earning minimum wage, it would be beneficial to the head company. Then, many more people would have jobs. This is how I would create jobs.

Emily W. said...

To create jobs in America, I would make it necessary for every state to have employees at gas pumps. If you think about how many gas stations are across the U.S., thousands of jobs would be created. Although they are small jobs, they will still take many Americans out of unemployment. The demand for gas is rising, so more gas stations may be built in the near future. This would create more places of work. If all the gas stations across the U.S. (over a million) needed at least 10 workers, over 10 million jobs would be created. I would personally encourage each state to make this necessary.

Jake B. said...

Unemployment right now in the United States of America is almost the lowest it has ever been. Although we cannot have unemployment at zero we can try getting it to its normal state. My idea is that the big retail stores and grocery stores should I hire more people. It might cut back profit a little bit and people may not have as much hours people will have jobs that they can at least live off of.
Stores such as Macy’s, Kohl’s, Toys R Us, and Best Buy are hiring many temporary workers for the holidays. If they can afford to pay more people for two months out of the year they should hire more people throughout the year. This will not give that many jobs but it will help.

Kylie M. said...

To me jobs in the United States are very scarce; therefore we need to create more jobs in our country. Some ideas I have are to decrease the number or unemployed citizens I would hire more works to clean streets, make jury duty a job, not volunteering, take back some of the industrial jobs we sent to China back in the United States and finally start my own business to spread all over the world.
First, streets these days are very dirty with people littering where ever they don’t have a trash handy. To eliminate this problem I would hire more workers to clean the streets of our country to make sure that we keep our environment clean to live in, because after all, it is the only one we have!
Second, make jury duty, which is currently a mandatory volunteering thing a job for those citizens who fit the job. In my opinion this is a wasted job opportunity and a hassle for citizens who don’t enjoy this certain thing to hand it off to people that do, while at the same time earning money!
Lastly I would get a loan from a bank to open a chain of businesses that I am interested in and make a fortune off of this. Although it may seem to be costly at first, it will soon pay off itself!

This is a test.

DYLAN F. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

What I would do is create more companies and hire employees. I would also lower taxes so people can hire more people to work for them. I would try to invent products that intrest people so supply and demand would go up and people would hire more and more people

Sami C said...

What I can do in the USA to create more jobs is to make companies or different types of brands such as hardware, food, clothing, etc. By this happening I believe much more people would be employed and making money while living a good life.

Sarah D. said...

To create jobs in the U.S.A., I would open up more stores. New stores need new employees, giving people jobs. More restaurants could open, hiring chefs, waiters, and waitresses. Also, more schools could open and hire new teachers, custodians, janitors, principals, superintendents, and cafeteria workers. The stores would make money that they would pay to their employees. This would give the workers more money, and our economy would improve. Opening up more stores would create more jobs in the U.S.A.

mike g said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?
Things we can do to create jobs in the U.S is lowering tax prices so businesses can stay in business and people can keep the jobs that they already have. With lower tax prices businesses will hire more employees to increase production. Another thing that can be done to decrease unemployment is to lower restaurant and other prices so more people buy their products keeping more businesses in business.

Tim S. said...

One thing I would do to create more jobs in America is to get rid of self-service gas stations. New Jersey is the only state to have people work at gas stations. There are thousands of gas stations in America and each could have around 5 gas pumpers for a 24-hour day. This would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and while they are low paying, work is work. This would greatly improve the economy, and greatly reduce the unemployment rate.

To create jobs in the USA I would encourage Americans to stop purchasing items from foreign countries. I would ask that Americans start purchasing things that are made in America. Then, instead of giving money to countries like China or Indonesia, the money would be going to American companies. This would create jobs because there would be a larger demand for American made goods, therefore companies would need to speed up their production. To speed up production many companies would need to hire more employees, creating jobs for more American people. To help inspire people to buy American made goods I would put commercials on television or even create posters to be put up at post offices and schools. By simply buying American made goods a vast quantity of jobs would be created in the United States.

Victoria K. said...

I would create more jobs in the USA by expanding more businesses. There are many small companies that are doing very well with stocks but have very few places open. A small company that I know has only ten stores around the country. If I expand this one business, the business earns more money and more people will be employed because more jobs will be available. The only way that this would work is if I watch how their stocks do when we open one of their stores. If the stocks go up, then we will open another store and watch the stocks again. We do this until the company reaches the maximum amount of stores that it can handle. If the small company takes on a lot of work all at once, it will come crashing down. This is only one small company, so if we do this to more than one company, more jobs will open.

Ivan B. said...

What would I do to create jobs in the USA?
I would open up more businesses and companies, doing this would create more job opportunities for more people around the world and would decrease the percentage amount of people that don’t have a job. When creating more businesses, I would make sure that there would at least be one job option for every job there is. From cooking, to architecture, to kite boarding, there would be an opportunity for it all. For architecture, there would be more studios or even online websites where people can sell or show-off their work. In kite boarding, there would be an opportunity for people to start their own lessons and clubs. For cooking, there would be more stores opened. It depends what type of cook you are, if you’re a fry-cook, there would be more Wendy’s and McDonald’s opened. If you’re a gourmet chef, there would be an opportunity for you to open up your own restaurant and even work for a famous one. I would send a letter to either the government or the President standing my opinion and my reasons, and if they accept it, all of this might be able to happen.

Paul G. said...

A job I would create in the USA is Professional Resulting. I would choose pro. Wrestling because it is something I like to do and I would be good at. I tried Wrestling once before and I was good at it and I liked it, but I quit because it was getting in the way of my Basketball. So that is the type of job I would create in the USA.

Nick T. said...

What I would do to create jobs in the USA is when I am older, I can start my own company. How this can help is that I can employ more people for myself so that I know I’m helping people who are unemployed. I cannot help the whole thing, and no one can. Why this is is because no single person can boost the economy back up; what you need to start the economy back up is having citizens making more money, because if we buy more for ourselves, people need more labor who make the things we buy, making more employment, more money in their pocket, etc. So the way we can create jobs is to attempt to get paid more, and spend it on things we like.

kyle b. said...

To create jobs in the USA I would try to get multiple families to live in one house instead of multiple houses. We could use the space that those houses took up and make more businesses. If we have more businesses, then we have more jobs. Not only is this giving more jobs to people, but with more people in a house, they less money each person would have to pay for taxes. I think that Americans would do this because they need jobs and this is a great way to get them.

Raymond C. said...

If I was to create an organization to create jobs I would take away some of the taxes from businesses causing them to have more money and hopefully they would use the money to gain more employees and gain more equipment and technology. This would benefit most companies because most companies can’t spend much money on goods or things to help increase the business.

Vincent T. said...

To create some jobs for the American citizens I would see what Americans need first like a new bridge, roads, schools, and things like that. For something that every single American can do without a lot of training would be a sales man, a school aid for classroom, and to do some simple work around a school. For the people that have some contracting, carpeting, or wiring skills they could make a new restaurant. The people that have cooking or cleaning skills could work in that restaurant making at least a dozen new jobs not counting the people who made the restaurant. From that we helped some American get back to work and making some money for their families. Then we could make some chain restaurants and hire more people.

Jack T. said...

I think that more jobs can be opened up in the USA is by reopening closed buildings. Everywhere throughout the USA, there are empty buildings where businesses used to be. For example, the old Pizza Hut building on Speedwell closed because of all of the competition with the other pizza places on speedwell. Just because one company failed there, that doesn’t mean all companies will. I bet that if a person in our town were to suggest a fast food restaurant like McDonalds or Burger King to open there, there would be some more jobs available in the community and the business would thrive. That is just an example of an empty building that can be reused. If this were to occur all over the country, I would bet that that a large fraction of people who are unemployed might be able to work again.

Justin L. said...

What I would do to create more jobs in the US is to have more branches and more companies. For example, we could expand companies like Home Depot, Shop Rite, TD Bank, etc. We could also shorten everybody’s shift so they can have more brakes and more people can work a single job. Another option we could use is to expand companies around the world. Other companies from another country can expand their companies here so people from the US can work for them. All of these would be effective ways to lower the unemployment rate.

Nicholas S. said...

I think that in order to create more jobs in the USA, larger companies should hire more and more people as their company expands nationwide or even worldwide. Some companies that could do this are Home Depot, Target, TD Bank, and Shop Rite. There are many more, however, some of those companies aren’t as economically strong as others. Therefore all large companies should make a plan that best suits their company. This would put a large amount of unemployed people back to work. However, companies should also reduce the amount of money they pay their employees so that they can afford to have more workers in their company.

TJ E said...

I would try to get more flat land to build stuff and try to not have robots. More flat land would be good for any type of job because someone would build a business there. Getting rid of robots will help because robots are taking jobs for human.

Anastasia B. said...

Hey everyone!  Hmm…there are lots of ways you could create jobs in the USA. In my opinion, a great way to create more jobs would be simply opening up more stores! They wouldn’t have to be fancy or expensive; they could just be cheap little cafes or restaurants. They would give people more jobs- you would need managers, waiters, and cooks- and it would give us more options when it comes to picking a place to eat. We could get these little cafes by fundraising in many different ways, just like we fundraise here at Borough for Student Council. I think each school from Morris County should get assigned a restaurant to fundraise for. After the fundraising is done, we can build all these restaurants and get more people jobs…Yay! 

Tyler A. said...

What i would do to create jobs would be to hold fundraisers to be able to build more buildings. Doing this would work because all that you have to do is selling or hold something like a show that everyone would enjoy. I know this would work because of the Pusela project. That is the project that sells bracelets to schools to help the poverty in Nicaragua. We are doing this at our school. All of my friends have them and everyone loves them, so all that you have to do make or sell something to the public to pay for jobs.

Lee A. said...

To create jobs in the USA, I would open more local stores. By opening more non-chain stores it would bring money to the community, plus jobs to the community. People would have to visit the town the store was located in to go to the store, possibly causing them to visit more stores in the area. This would generate more money so that the stores could employ more people. They would have to employ more people due to the rise in popularity of the store. This plan would create jobs as well as generate money so we can improve our communities as well as create jobs.

Stephanie J. said...

I would open a business of my own, like a cupcake or bracelet making business. Then I would hire many employees, paying them minimum wage. Once they get enough money, let’s say to go to college, I would let them go (to college, I mean) and hire new people in need of money. If I am running low on employees, I would hire homeless people. I would pay these people more than minimum wage. I would let them be an employee as long as they want or need, so that they can purchase a home, food, and whatever else they need. This is what I would do to create jobs in the USA.

amanda c said...

To create more jobs in the United States I would have more restaurants or stores open locally. For example there used to be a Pizza Hut in town, but now it isn’t there. If we were to open up more stores or restaurants locally the owners would have more money and more people would have jobs.

Cara D. said...

To create more jobs in the USA, I would create more small businesses. With more businesses, there will be more job openings, and when people spend money at the business or store, there will be more money circulating around in the economy. Another thing our country should do to create more jobs is stop using labor and products from other countries. If we stopped doing this, it would create jobs, and we would stop spending money buying things from other countries. If we did both these things, many more jobs would be available and we can get out of this depression.

Arjun K. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?
To create jobs in the U.S., I would create more job slots for a company so more of them can be filled by people. I think that convenient stores should have more employees to work for them because it doesn’t take as much experience as jobs such as being an architect or a teacher. Therefore, more people can work at places that they will be capable to work at and more people will be employed. Also, the employees should be paid hire wages so they will stay at that job until another opportunity opens up. I think my idea may work.

Alyson V. said...

I would create my own business my business would be an animal daycare center and I would hire many people to work there. Then after my business started growing and growing I would need to hire more and more people. Then I would open up some more daycares around the world and that would require more employees to work. They might not like they job, but it would help them make money and have a living.

Garrett L. said...

I personally feel that the United States is struggling with the economy. As a result, many people are losing their jobs. Many people are out of work, and are struggling to earn money. The United States government should be responsible for this because they are not dealing with this problem. People should establish more businesses and restaurants. This would help reduce the number of citizens that are out of work and can’t support their family. I would try extremely hard to get all the citizens in the US to have a job. I feel that many people have the same opinion as me.

Danny R said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

To create jobs in the USA I would lower the cost of everything for a while, and when everyone is back on track, raise the prices again. To pay back the businesses, I would raise taxes on rich people because they really don’t need half their money anyway.

Anastasia B said...

@ Amanda C...Aww you should put a Dominos instead!! :(

Nate Y said...

To create jobs in the USA I would create tax cuts and benefits for businesses whenever they hired a certain number of people. Say, for each hundred jobs that were created there would be a tax cut of .50 percent for that individual business. A second idea would be to create tax cuts on all large business. This would then create job growth by allowing large componies to pay less. This allows them to hire more people. This will be paid for by more taxes on the rich and dirty industrial areas creating large amounts of pollution

Aaron C. said...

I would make stores and restaurant’s cheaper in New Jersey because it is becoming too expensive to live in New Jersey. We need to do this so we can get out of this depression and live in a world of peace. I would try to make the U.S a better place to live and have a happy life. We need to lower the prices because it’s way too much for us. Families are paying over $20 just to go out to eat. Also a lot of people are moving out of New Jersey because they think other states are cheaper than New Jersey.

Matt G said...

I would try to tear down trees so we could build more buildings and stores. If we built a mall for example, many people in that area would be able to work there. People could also help on the construction site. Many people these days love to shop, and also if it were a restaurant many people would eat there because now a days people are to lazy to cook so they eat out.

Shannon C. said...

I would create more jobs in the USA by reducing the amount of products being made and shipped overseas from places like China. If we made our own products then we would need more employees to make our products here in the USA; therefore, reducing the unemployment rate. I would personally change this by buying “All-American” products. This way, factories in the USA would require more employees.

Bradley G. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I would create a project to create jobs. For example I would create a government founded organization that cleans up the looks of streets. For example if a street didn’t have a good side walk, this organization would insert a brand new sidewalk. If a person wanted to join this organization they would go online fill out the application and then send it in to the company. After that if you are selected you would start work as soon as you could. This would be open to people all over the country and in most states. In conclusion this organization would create more jobs and make our country look better and cleaner.

Olivia H. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the U.S.A.?

Right now, the U.S.A. is not in a very good time and is relying on a low economy. The first thing I would do is eliminate our factory productions and jobs in other countries such as China and India. By doing this, the jobs that were in foreign countries are now in the U.S.; therefore, it creates many, many new jobs. Another thing I would do would be to offer lower wage jobs instead of only 3 or 4 high paying jobs. This would create an abundance of jobs that pay equally. Last, I would build more office buildings and stores to create more jobs for other companies. Overall, I think that the government should look at different ideas to create more jobs, instead of trying the same idea over and over again.

Winston L. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?
I would create more jobs to make towns a better place to live. For example, we could have a new sidewalk that is like a rolling treadmill that carries you along. A lot of towns’ roads could also be re-paved. New stop signs, traffic lights, or roundabouts could help. Carrying out these things would require jobs, and many people would sign up for these jobs in order to earn more money. After the above things are finished, these jobs could stay so the people could maintenance everything they did. We could then repeat this process somewhere else to create more jobs, and so on. I think this would help us out of the depression.

Teddy V. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I would tell the government to have a lottery for all of the unemployed citizens in America. You could also have more than one winner. I would also create more jobs in areas that are empty or places that are not in use. You could also expand factories and businesses so you could hire more people. Another idea could be making more people cut and maintain you lawn instead of doing it yourself. This could help people make more money, start businesses, and have money for you family. Jobs are the most important thing you can have as an American citizen. We could also have people work places that can take homeless people in to feed, take care of, and help them and have the government pay them to do it. They can help your family, food, home, and lifestyle. Our government needs to find ways to get more jobs, and I think that if they try my idea; it may work.

Justin M. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

To create more jobs in America, I would expand big businesses like Apple and Microsoft. They can use their extra money to build more factories or stores around the country. Having more stores would need more workers to run them. Also, businesses should start hiring right out of college. This will expand the job industry for young adults in their early career years. Next, we should entirely enforce illegal border crossing with more law enforcement members. The money would come from local police departments and taxes. Finally, we could add to our armed forces. The more people in our forces, the more jobs that are created when they leave to go to training and foreign wars.

Ian J. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

There are many things I would do to make more jobs in the U.S. Instead of businesses that have huge branches all around the world, we should ask them if they can share some of their office space for new businesses, but also keep the company in its original space. This may make some people mad; however, we are in a recession and there are too many homeless people in the world who don’t have jobs to support their family.
We could also have more lotteries to choose from. Instead of having one for our state and country, we can have one for the county. Lotteries are one ways that people get out of tough situations. If we can make more lotteries somehow than there will be less homelessness in the world.

Mary Kate O. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

If I was in charge of creating more jobs in the United States, what would I do? If the working people of the United States took shifts with the unemployed people of the country, then everyone who wanted a job could have one. Maybe some facilities, such as schools, apartment buildings, or super markets, could higher one or two extra people to work for them. The extra people could get paid a smaller amount than the people who were already working there. Also, the extra employees could work as janitors, cashiers, or anything to get them some money. Another smart way to create more jobs is to open up new businesses, such as restaurants. If new restaurants are opened up, new waiters and waitresses can start working there. There are many simple ways that can be used to create more jobs for the people of the United States.

Liam M. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

To create more jobs in the United States of America I would expand military presence in countries in the Middle East (like Iraq, Afghanistan) or in the Balkans (like Croatia, Kosovo). By doing this we can create
A. More Jobs in the military.
B .Expanding bullet, weapon, and armored fighting vehicle development (more jobs).
C. Expanding Research and Development.
Doing this creates more jobs overall and more business production, supply and demand, etc. to get the economy up. This is sort of like how we got out of the great depression. Creating more jobs and cash flow increases people’s way of life by getting more money to pay taxes and not being in debt and less chance of an apocalyptic future for money. Also, increasing military protection in these countries can stop terrorist attacks. Most importantly, this could get us out of the trouble we are in

Kevin P. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I think that opening large businesses would be the best way to create jobs. These large corporate businesses have potential to create thousands or even millions of jobs. Almost every unemployed American would work for minimum wage and few benefits. To create these businesses you would need money. This money could come from lotteries. The money can also be made by starting small and gaining a large profit. Everyone knows that just like Rome, a business cannot be built overnight. I believe that the types of businesses should include a lot of technology that can help do numerous tasks. Apple is a company that is exactly like what I am talking about. They have iPods, iPod Touches, iPads, iPhones, and so many products that are yet to be made. We need businesses that will never stop expanding.

Lina H. said...

The unemployment rate in the United States is rising and therefore, we need to start creating jobs for the American people. Since many of the things we use each day are made in various parts of the world, I believe we should start manufacturing items in the USA. If we start making many products in the states, more people would have jobs and the price of goods would be lowered because we don’t have to ship items across the world. Another way to create jobs is to open up more fast food chains such as McDonalds or Starbucks. When we create more of these chains, people have a better chance of getting the job since they don’t need a college degree to work. I hope that the government would take in consideration ideas for making the United States an even better place.

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I think that we could create and keep more jobs if we stopped using china to make all of our stuff. If we stop making stuff in china we would have to build new factories here in America, so we would have to hire construction workers to make the factories so a lot of construction workers would have jobs then when we finish the factory a lot more workers could get jobs making um………. Computers or something so a lot of jobs could be created by doing this. Think of this if twenty companies did this then there would be almost million new jobs for people to have and to work. Unfortunately the companies that moved here would have to lay off a lot of Chinese workers but life just isn’t fair because what goes around comes around, when the companies decided to go to china many Americans got laid off so now it is their turn, not trying to be or anything at all. I think that my idea would probably work and I hope that the Chinese workers who are being laid off will find work elsewhere.

There are many things I would do to make more jobs in the U.S. Instead of businesses that have huge branches all around the world, we should ask them if they can share some of their office space for new businesses, but also keep the company in its original space. This may make some people mad; however, we are in a recession and there are too many homeless people in the world who don’t have jobs to support their family.
We could also have more lotteries to choose from. Instead of having one for our state and country, we can have one for the county. Lotteries are one ways that people get out of tough situations. If we can make more lotteries somehow than there will be less homelessness in the world.
THE SOMEHOW IS that they can cut some of the money from the other lotteries to make more lotteries overall…

Right now our economy is going down every day, and there is a huge unemployment rate throughout the United States. The effect of this is that a lot of people can’t have the ability to afford things, or they have to have a strict budget when they try to buy things. What I would do to create more jobs in the USA is reducing the price on everything. For instance, decreasing the price on clothes, or fast food would help, because then Americans can buy more for a cheaper price. Then the more money a company makes from the buyers, eventually those businesses need to have more workers. It’s a chain reaction.

Patrick F. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

Something I would do to create jobs would be trying to bring companies to the USA. When we bring foreign companies here to the US it lets people get more options on where to work. Instead of bringing countries to us we are shipping companies overseas, therefore losing the employees here, but letting the other countries expand in employment. If we tried to persuade foreign companies to come to us everyone would thrive and have just enough money, the economy would be out of their slump, and America will have created jobs for most of the population in the USA.

Rachel A. said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I would create jobs in the USA because there are many people out of work today, I would enjoy putting an end to that. I would do that because when you don’t have a job you don’t have money and without money you can’t get things like groceries to provide for your family. With this being said you would not see as many people wandering around the streets. I would like for big name businesses to keep expanding and producing more. It would also be nice if you got the chance for new and upcoming businesses to get the word out. I truly believe if more people had more jobs the world would be a much happier place.

AL B said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

Let’s see…

This is what I would do,

I would cut taxes by 50%. Even if that means all the money stays in the country and it can’t be spent over sees unless your taxes go up for that person. Also I think if someone is jobless they will have to get 6 weeks to get a job or else they’ll have nothing,(there choice) and maybe live in a different country or live with someone who will pay there expense’s. This might seem like a bad idea but, I think over thing will get better. If you are jobless you can always leave the country. Overall I think everything will get better.

Aiden H. said...

In this economy, everyone is looking for one thing; jobs. Jobs aren’t going to all come at the same time but ideas are being brought up to help create them. My idea would be to create areas to drill for oil in the U.S. Areas like the Great Plains, Alaska or even out in the ocean are perfect because not many people live there and there are tons of oil deposits. Creating oil rigs would help make millions of new jobs and lower the need for spending money on foreign oil. The idea will pay for itself in no time.

Marie V. said...

What I would do to create more jobs in the United States is I would start a new business that feeds hungry people and serves healthy foods. Not only would this help make hungry people full but could also give many more people new jobs. If we opened a couple nationwide it would help the economy by a long run. The food would also be healthy to prevent obesity which us also a common issue here in America. I think this could get more people back in work, and keep people healthy not hungry.

Tucker M said...

To create more jobs in the U.S., I would make different types of projects to improve cities and towns that anyone could help out with. There could be projects like building homes and buildings, homes, and schools. People could also improve roadways or work on pipelines. This would help in many ways like making our world a better place to live and give millions of people who are unemployed jobs. This will also keep the U.S. from becoming more in debt than it already is. Doing this would make a big difference on the U.S.

Philip T. said...

I would create jobs in the USA by creating new stores and businesses. Then I would give the all stores tax cuts if they hired a certain amount of people. By doing this, businesses would be encouraged to hire new employees because it would benefit them to hire more workers. If a company hired new a hundred employees, I would give them a 1% tax cut. This would continue until our unemployment decreases to a more relaxed state, like 1 or 2%. This would work because businesses would be encouraged to hire employees to gain finance. The new stores and businesses would also boost the jobs by creating new opportunities. I would pay for the new stores and tax cuts by raising the taxes slightly, but enough so that the company would still gain from the tax cuts. That is how I would create jobs in the USA.

Ryan L. said...

I would create more jobs in the U.S.A. by creating building projects. Possible examples would be bridges, monuments, skyscrapers etc. This would give more citizens jobs because they would help build, design, or control these projects. I am positive that this will create jobs because during the Great Depression, President Roosevelt started projects similar to the ones that I have in mind. After that, many people got back to work, and it jump-started the economy. Finally, I would say that the large projects should be located near ten major cities in the country. Because a large percentage of the population lives within about fifty miles of these cities, it would make it an easy commute for the workers.

Andrew C. said...

To create jobs in the USA for the homeless I think we should create more bridges, upgrade communication, and make more efficient ways to travel. This will make more people get jobs if needed. Less people would then be jobless or homeless, and more people would be also happy to actually have a job again. This money would be provided from gas prices that we could rise.

Matt F. said...

Right now the United States is at an enormously high rate of unemployment around the country. There are thousands of Americans in the U.S. with absolutely no job. It is a huge problem, and must be fixed. I think one way we could get more jobs in the U.S. is by opening several more business building, such as, more chain restaurants or other stores like Wal-Mart or Target. Also, places like ShopRite, and Acme. It is a great idea because it will open the opportunities for more jobs for Americans. With this we could take a huge amount of people who are unemployed out of the equation.

Matt M. said...

I would create new jobs by building more buildings everywhere in the U.S. This could create new jobs by having people build the buildings. You need people to build buildings so I would hire a large group of unemployed people to build a building or two. This would give the people a job. Then after the buildings are built I would make sure to sell it to responsible businesses. This would work because the building process would give many unemployed people jobs. Also after the buildings are made there will be more space and room for more unemployed people to work. I will pay for this by already establishing a small business or diner and use all the money I earn with that on this. I think this will create many jobs in the USA.

Ethan D. said...

To create more jobs in America I would first start by giving more jobs to people such as community service jobs. This would not only help the people, but it would also help the environment. The government could give people the jobs for cleaning things up and they could also pay for some things. Even though the government may not give you the money that you would want, it would be better than not getting anything at all. Another way you could get more people to work is to open up more businesses. If you have more businesses then more people will have jobs and less people will be homeless due to the job increase.

Jason G said...

To create jobs in USA you or the people you are with should buy a property and make a place on the property so you can make your business there. You can hire people to work for you so that you have a better business and all of you will get money. I think that this will work because you will make money but if you open the business you will get money from the customers. To pay for the place we will make everyone pitch in to help support the place and we will ask are family to lend us money in trying to make the place. That is how I will make better jobs in the USA and how I will support the business that we are trying to make.

Lauren H :0 said...

In order to create jobs in the U.S, I think that they should decrease the number of robots or machines they have in a factory. By doing this it would create more work for people without one. I also think that after four months of getting paid unemployment it should get taken away from the people who collect it. I think they should do this because it would encourage people to get up off of the couch and look for a job.

Dominic R said...

I would make plans to build more roads, stores and bridges to give the jobs a boost. For the stores we need to hire more people to work there. This is going work because taxes will help pay for the building cost and people will need to build that building. Then we need to populate the store with people who need the job. The roads, and bridges they just need to build, but how are supposed to know where to build them? Simple we interview people who take a busy road or highway and try to build a plan to put an extra road or bridge. Again this will be funded by taxes.

Greg R. said...

I would buy food and clothes for homeless people so that they have something to keep themselves feed. This will also make the clothes and food stores wealthier. The store would need to hire more people to stock quicker so that there the items that they need would be there. This will create jobs for many more citizens.

Kaitlyn G said...

The way I think we can create more jobs is to hire people to help rebuild or make some helpful changes. Some ideas of rebuilding are to fix broken bridges, fix up old houses and use what we can so that can help build up our economy and get people employed once again. A lot of people could be hired to help reconstruct houses for people who can’t do it themselves, like the elderly. This would boost up our unemployment very much. The county could also hire people to help fix old roads, bridges, and all of the things we need to rebuild. This jobs plan could really help our economy go back to the normal.

michaela p. said...

Since the American economy is in such a poor state, there has been a huge rise in unemployment. In order to revamp the number of Americans successfully employed, now during which they aren’t, I believe the government should grant extra tax dollars to certain businesses in order for them to be able to expand production nation-wide, therefore opening up thousands upon thousands of job opportunities to the general public. The businesses that may be subject to expansion would have to range from different levels of aptitude being the eligibility of so many needy applicants. Some examples may include industrial health care corporations (Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, etc.), chain restaurants (White Castle, Wendy’s, Friendly’s, etc.), and specialty brands (The Christmas Tree Shop, Halloween costume retail stores, etc.). If this were to happen, I could guarantee improvement in the current employment state of the United States.

Jeremy G said...

To create more jobs in the US we can produce more things in our country. We already purchase far too much from China and other foreign countries. One good we can start producing is we can start drilling for more of our oil in the North West areas. Some are already aware that Canada is side-drilling for our oil and we can start drilling for it ourselves before they take all of it then sell it for high prices. This would definitely create many more jobs and would also lower the prices of gas. Not only can we start drilling for more oil, we can also construct things such as toys, tools, and other various objects. Over 90% of our goods are assembled in China or other foreign countries. There are so many good things that can come from producing our own goods and maybe even selling to other countries. These are my ideas on how we can put many more people in work and save much money for our currently weak economy.

Natalie B. said...

In order to create more job opportunities in the US, we can do many things. One thing in particular that we can do is have more people working locally by doing things such as picking up trash from the side or painting buildings. People who have higher positions can also hire more employees, like assistants. Sometimes, there is a lack of people working in stores. We could have those stores hire more employees, and even lower the requirements for being given a job. I’m sure that the people working in these store and offices would appreciate more help, and of course, the new employees would appreciate getting these jobs, too. Hopefully, the rate of unemployment will lower soon.

julianna g. said...

What I would to do to create more jobs in the USA is… try to start my own company. I would hire people who don’t have jobs, they would not have to have much education on the subject. Whether it would be a Bakery or a homeless shelter where homeless people could come to eat food because they can’t afford it. I would pay for all this with money I had saved over the years just for this.

Sarah C. said...

To create more jobs in the United States, I would make sure that there are more construction projects going on so that people could get paid to help build the buildings or houses. This would help the people in our country provide food and shelter for their families. Many more people in our country would have jobs if this happened. This could also help people have an education in construction, and eventually, they can start their own construction business so they can hire people who need jobs too.

Christian V. said...

To create more jobs in the U.S., I would open more fast food joints. They are easy jobs for kids and young adults to have to earn a few bucks. It also would cut a lot of the unemployment because it would allow a lot more unemployed people to get a job. It also would help a lot of people on prices. The prices at these restaurants are quite cheap. You could feed a family of 5 for $20. That’s one less thing that you would have to run around doing, feeding your family. Many people are looking for jobs and will accept small ones like this. I hope that one day, we can fix the economy and fix our country. 

Kelly S. said...

I would raise taxes for citizens in the USA making a household income of more than $200,000 per year and I would charge them more tax. This tax amount would be based on how much more money these people make than the average American citizen. This would help the government create more jobs and it might also help lower prices of items that will be purchased by most Americans.
Another way to save money and make some more jobs is to recycle more. If we just recycled things instead of having to remake them completely, then we can save a lot of money and help to create more jobs.
My last and final way that we can save money and create lots more jobs in the U.S. is to import less items from other countries. For example, if we stopped importing pencils and pens from china and made them here then we would save money and also create lots more jobs for people that are unemployed. Those are my three ways to help create more jobs in the U.S.

Erin L said...

What would you do to create jobs in the USA?

I would help create more jobs by building new towns and cities, so that there would be more stores and jobs. I think creating more towns would help because people who lost their jobs could get a fresh start in a new place. I would also make it less expensive to own property, so that poorer people could have just as nice homes as richer people. I think this would help people a lot because they could spend the money they weren’t spending on homes on things they wouldn’t usually buy. This would benefit others too, because they would be making a profit of what you bought! My last way of helping to create jobs is by making large food chains a little smaller so that other restaurants have a better chance of not closing because of bankruptcy! If really popular food chains downsize, it would create more jobs for restaurants to upgrade! I hope that my ideas can help America’s economy get better! :)

Tyler U. said...

To create jobs, I would start opening more businesses. For example, I would make a Dunkin’ Donuts in towns that can have the space for them. This would open more positions for people to fill in that don’t have a job to support their family. The employees could then use their money on other services, such as a bank. The businesses that have the person’s money then use it support their business. The money is circulated through the town, and helps all local businesses thrive. Those businesses could hire even more people.

Leah H. said...

What I would do to create jobs in the USA is open more restaurants in different towns across the USA. This would make spaces for more employees. Also, I would suggest having more hotels, hotels need many people working there. Such as, maids, managers, bell hops, and a lot more. Maybe we could even build a new mall, malls need a lot of workers, and even younger people would like to work at malls. These are my ideas to create jobs around the USA.

Bryan T. said...

What I would do to create more jobs is to open more stores to create more jobs. Also these stores could form into a big mall for more businesses to have an opportunity to have some more customers. I would also create more jobs by making new roads. I would do this because there is a lot of traffic each day on almost every major highway. This would not only give more jobs but create less congestion on the road.

Steven B. said...

I would try to open more business to get people jobs. Business like McDonalds, burger king, etc. with these new jobs in place it will open up more jobs and more money for the company and the people who were out of work, and who doesn’t like more money. So with more jobs in place it will lower unemployment and get the company more money.

Brianna G. said...

To help create more jobs in the US I think people should work at every gas station in all the states, new jersey is the only state that has people actually pump the gas for you. There are so man gas stations throughout the country, in our small town there is three on the same street, that is about 18 people with jobs in one small location, think of how many people would have more jobs in the US if every gas station had employees working there. So many people would make money to support their families.

Justin C. said...

What I would do to create new jobs in the U.S is to start more small businesses in local towns creating more job openings and fewer layoffs. Places such as Wal-Mart, Target, and other large superstores are putting smaller family businesses in bankruptcy. If more people open up small stores on public streets, then they will be needing employees to help manage and help keep those stores running. After all, more jobs are not a big problem in America. Our economy isn’t getting much better, so you can help yourself and others by opening a new business near you.
