Michael Steele, the Chair of the Republican National Committee, said this recently:  Creating jobs is not the same as creating work.

Creating jobs is a position that has an end date… a contract.  When the work is complete, the job is complete.  The person holding the job is free to pursue other jobs.

Work, on the other hand, is what small businesses provide …. there is no ‘end of the work’, there is only the ‘end of the job’.

If a ‘job’ is working on the infrastructure, once the roads are built, the ‘job’ is over.  These people will have to go look for another ‘job’.

If ‘work’ is putting money back in the hands of small business owners, who can grow their businesses and create more ‘work’, not necessarily a ‘job’, then wouldn’t that make more sense?

So tell me …. is creating ‘jobs’ the same as creating ‘work’?
