Creating Jobs

I want a maid. Or housekeeper. Or whatever term they prefer now. That has been my goal for a long time. I’m a terrible housekeeper, so I’d like to just outsource (or insource) that particular job!

It isn’t really selfishness. I’d be creating employment! Jobs are in short supply, so I’d be a producer, not a consumer here, it is a GOOD thing!

At least, this is what I tell myself when I am in that mood of trying to justify it. We can’t quite do so at the moment, and probably won’t be able to for a year or two. But I’ve got it on my list!

Approaching the job creation issue from a little more serious perspective, we are actually engaging in several endeavors to create jobs. We are subcontracting as much as we can, providing necessary employment for our son (21 and currently jobless since he just returned from a mission), and we are hiring others as much as we can afford.

We are also providing training for Webmasters, and offering a 40% discount off that training for people who have been laid off. Our students are earning from what we teach them, and all have done so within a few months of starting training. That provides employment as well, as people create their own jobs.

One of the difficult things about unemployment is that the government does not WANT you to start a business and create your own job. So if you do so, you have to be very careful if you are on unemployment insurance.

It isn’t just about buying things. Creating jobs is also about creatively approaching needs in the marketplace, and meeting them better than the existing solutions, in one way or another.

One of the reasons I want to earn right now, is to help others to earn, either by teaching, or by passing on work to them. I want prosperity so I can pass it on.
