Who is passionate about creating one million jobs?
Edit: Someone pointed me to the original blog post, which makes it clear that YC doesn't expect a company to employ one million people, but instead create the jobs in other ways. It gives Uber as an example. Now, I'd say a lot of what Uber does is more like job transfer than job creation, but I get the point and the goal makes more sense in that light. Still, it's a nearly unattainable goal. Many sectors of the US economy don't employ a million people.-------------- Original AnswerThis seems kinda silly honestly. Microsoft only has 127K employees, and as far as I can tell they're the biggest company of their type.In general, the only way you can even employ 100K people in a technology company is by doing a lot of different things. And if you look at companies of that size, the stuff they were doing as a startup wasn't really predictive of what allowed them to employ all those people. And that's just 100K. You'd need to employ ten times as many people to reach a million. In fact, only four companies in the world currently employ over a million people. So I don't see how YC could really judge if a company had the potential to employ a million people.
Why do people hate "Big Business"?
"The more money a business makes, the more jobs they create, which gives a less unemployment." In theory yes - until the business figures out it can outsource jobs to China, and pay a fraction of the price for labor. "The more money "Big Business" makes, the more it can pay it's employees." In theory yes - although in practice, it generally just translates to bigger bonuses and higher pay for executives, not for the rest of its employees. <
Pros and Cons for Creating More Jobs in the US?
the topic appears to be too difficult for Obama & his hordes of henchmen. the only thing government is allowed to do is to remove barriers to capitalist business. that's IT. so NO. there are no 'pros' to the fantasy that government can 'create jobs'. government, by its very nature, is only able to crush the economy.
How do we create more and better jobs?
There is nothing like better or butters jobs. A job is a job. If the business is going good, then everything is good, else it is ordinary job.Individuals are akin to any businessman looking to save or generate as much profit as one can. So businesses thrive to reduce manpower to bare minimum. An individual inspite of being a rich, will not like to spend money like water, he would be careful in his spendingUSA invests on research, innovation & other technologies, so it has wider industry base, capacity to absorb students in every field of work. Other nations invest only in their own existing business, so have only narrow base of industries, which limits absorbtion of graduating students.USA job creation plans are started way back in 1960’s, so it is in better place todayConclusionsIndividuals cannot create jobs unless he is an entreprenuer.Companies is making adequate profits, then only it can make the workplace better or butter placesCompanies not making profits will even cut expenses on coffee / tea vending machines / washroom tissue paper rolls.Software companies provide gym, game, long menu cafes, subsidized canteens, because they make good profits & they will stop all these the moment there profits are affected or come downThe only inexpensive way of making better workplace is to treat everyone as humans, without comprimising office work & objective in its assessment of the work that is performed
How does the government create jobs?
The government doesn't create jobs. It can only create a pro-business and pro-growth environment in which business will thrive and create more jobs. Over-regulation, high taxes, and persecution of corporations is not that environment. So Clinton and Obama are both wrong, and wrong. The government doesn't solve problems, and nothing that is government-controlled has ever been a success. Just look at public schools vs. private schools. Look at the operation of the post office vs. UPS and FedEx. Look at government budgeting vs. the budgeting of private industries.
