Public Opinion about Jobs Creation


Today President Obama is hosting a summit to discuss the problem of unemployment and ways to create new jobs in America. In late november, the Gallup Poll asked a national sample of Americans the question: "In your opinion, what would be the best way to create more jobs in the United States?" Here is the advice the public had to offer: 18% favor keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S., 14% favor lowering taxes, 12% prefer giving aid to small businesses, 10% support creating more infrastructure for work, 7% want to reduce government regulation, 6% favor creating more green jobs, and 4% say -- that's right -- they would provide more stimulus funding.
