Univision: on Jobs


Mitt Romney: Jobs program: energy; trade; training; and pro-business

Q: When you say you're going to create 12 million jobs, how would you do it? Can you answer with something specific?

A: My plan has five major parts, and I know you don't want me to go into detail on all five. I'd take over the whole show. But let me describe what they are.

  1. Taking full advantage of oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear and renewables will create about four million jobs by itself.
  2. Trade. The opportunity to add more trade, particularly in Latin America, where there's a natural advantage in time zone and language for us.
  3. We have to make sure that our people have the skills to succeed. I want to get our training programs to do that
  4. We've got to get America on track to a balanced budget.
  5. We have to have a pro-small business agenda. Taxes, regulations, health care, all those things encouraging small business. I want to have an administration that's focused on getting small business growing again.
