Job Losses Spur Recession Debate

Talk ensues as officials question whether we are in the midst of a recession. The number of jobs created has now dropped for six straight months, according to ABC News.

The Department of Labor reports startling figures regarding America’s current economy: 8.5 million Americans are without work while unemployment has risen to 5.5 percent.

Changes need to be made to amend this problem. It is imperative to protect domestic U.S. companies and make sure they remain on U.S. soil to ensure Americans are provided with jobs, technology and steady profits – this is one step to retain and create jobs. We next need to stop depending upon imports as our means of survival. Once we become an export nation and a producer of numerous products, jobs will be created and maintained by Americans while our dependence on foreign nations will decline.
