Get to Work

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS: I'm sick of politicians saying they create jobs. Government can create the conditions where job growth happens, but government doesn't produce real jobs. Fox's Juan Williams disagrees.
JOB CREATION: So who does create jobs? Sadly, Americans have no idea. But the correct answer is: entrepreneurs, business owners, companies!
MINIMUM WAGE: Workers demand higher pay, and most Americans support a higher minimum wage-even Republicans! But how high? I asked people...One person said $50!
RIGHT TO WORK: Wisconsin recently became the 25th state to adopt right-to-work legislation. Steve Moore of the Heritage Foundation explains why right-to-work laws are great.
FIRST JOBS: My first job was as a deckhand on a sailboat. It paid me nothing but it taught me responsibility. My colleagues at Fox had similar experiences in crummy first jobs.
THANKS GOVERNMENT! Fewer people dare to start a business today because they can't even understand the rules. Government keeps adding rules. Millions lose jobs because of government regulations.
ENDING THE 9 to 5: 9 to 5 jobs might be a thing of the past, says Dan Schawbel of WorkplaceTrends.com.
MY TAKE: I asked people if they'd work if they didn't need the money. Most people said, yes! But lots of people don't work because they get paid more for not working! Our well-intended welfare state taught many people that work is for suckers. That's a terrible message.
