Want to 'create' jobs? I can tell you how to create an almost unlimited amount right now: ban technology. All technology. Agriculture by itself would take every man, woman and child into the field and be lacking for workers. Of course, even with such numbers working the fields, the crop yields would plummet. The reason is that we have invented technology that can do many jobs far more efficiently and cost effectively than we ever could with our hands. Such innovations have allowed us to move out of the fields and focus on other necessities. Technological advancement is a thing to be celebrated, not bemoaned. Unfortunately, those like Jesse Jackson Jr don't grasp such a simple concept or its value added to civilization:
Is he next going to bemoan the invention of the harvester? And isn't Jr a purported environmentalist bemoaning that fewer trees are being killed? All that paper comes from somewhere you know!
