USIS Washington File: TEXT: GORE SAYS EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS SHOW STRONG U.S. ECONOMY

Last month, the economy created 365,000 jobs, the unemployment rate remained at 4.5 percent, as low as it has been in 28 years, and real wages continued to rise -- all with no signs of inflation. Since President Clinton and I took office, the economy has now created 16.7 million new jobs. For nearly a quarter century, our nation had not seen an unemployment rate dip below five percent; it has now stayed below five percent for 14 months in a row. Let there be no doubt: if we stay on the right economic path, America's job engine can roar into the 21st Century. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Bush Unveils Plan to Bolster Economic Expansion

We must also encourage the investments that help turn small businesses into larger ones. Small businesses create the majority of new jobs in America, and they account for half the output of the economy. Currently, tax law permits small firms to write off as expenses up to $25,000 worth of equipment -- like computers or machinery that they need. I'm asking the Congress to raise that limit to $75,000, and index that number for inflation. This change, together with the faster rate reductions, will benefit more than 23 million small business owners. My view is this economy can thrive only if our small businesses thrive. And we will provide them every incentive to grow and create more jobs. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Economic Issues and the 2004 Presidential Campaign

Kerry says that the Bush tax cuts have mostly benefited the richest 2 percent of the country, and if he is elected, he will instead adjust the tax cuts so that they go the middle class by retaining a tax cut for Americans who earn under $200,000 a year. He will also increase certain tax benefits for middleclass families for expenses such as childcare and college tuition. Kerry also has pledged to work to stop companies from sending jobs overseas by eliminating tax incentives that he said encourage U.S. companies to ship jobs out of the country. In addition, Kerry said he will protect American jobs by enforcing U.S. trade agreements. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Employment and Training Centers Planned for Iraq

Q: Iraq -- Iraq -- correct me if I'm wrong -- is a country where you have a high rate of education. People are well-educated, generally. Are many people now without jobs going to have to face having jobs that they weren't trained for, jobs -- menial jobs? For instance, engineers and lawyers, will they have to be doing work in department stores and building buildings and -- to begin with, before you develop a corporate structure of private businesses, will people with -- well-educated people have to do jobs like painters and building buildings and things like that? You see what I mean? ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Text: Protectionism Does Little to Create Jobs, Greenspan Says

More recently, similar concerns have arisen about the possibility that an increasing number of our better-paying white-collar jobs will be lost to outsourcing, especially to India and China. Many of these jobs are in the service sector, and they were previously perceived as secure and largely free from the international competition long faced in the manufacturing sector. There is a palpable unease that businesses and jobs are being drained from the United States, with potentially adverse long-run implications for employment and the standard of living of the average American. Job insecurity is understandably significant when nearly two million members of our workforce have been unemployed for more than six months. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Trade Pact a Milestone in U.S.-Australia Relations, Bush Says

One of the great economic achievements since the end of the Cold War has been the success of free and fair trade in raising up the world's poor, bringing hope to the world's hopeless, promoting freedom among the world's oppressed, and creating jobs at home and abroad. The same advantages that this agreement will bring to the United States and Australia can and should be available to the developing world. Our two nations are committed to the reduction of trade barriers and other restrictions that are keeping too much of the world from the kind of prosperity and opportunity that the developed world takes for granted. On Saturday, that commitment yielded an important result that will benefit manufacturers and farmers from America, Australia and the world. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Text: U.S., Australia Sign Free Trade Agreement

"As a result of this new freedom, trade between our nations is projected to rise by billions of dollars, creating more economic opportunity in both the United States and Australia. We are proud of this state-of-the-art agreement. In addition to freeing trade in industrial goods, the new FTA removes barriers to agricultural products, investment, government procurement, and services while increasing protection for intellectual property and freeing electronic commerce. Millions of Americans and Australians depend on vibrant and growing trade for their jobs. The U.S-Australia FTA will only add to that number," continued Zoellick. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Text: Democrat Kerry Proposes Ending Foreign Subsidiary Tax Deferrals

For the vast majority of companies in America -- 99 percent -- our Jobs First plan will cut their taxes and help them create new jobs. Some companies -- that benefit from tax loopholes -- will fiercely defend the status quo. I know how tough their lobbying will be. But I believe that's why we have elections in America -- so that the people can set us on a new course. And I don't believe the course they want is to subsidize the loss of their own jobs. I have fought for my country for 35 years - and I am ready for this fight. With tax reform and tax cuts, with real fiscal responsibility, with new investments in the industries of the future, we can and will create 10 million new jobs for America -- and lead our economy in a new direction. Together, let's give America back its prosperity and its future. ... [Read More]
