Right. And I think we are saying the same thing, although I am doing it less elegantly.

The problem was people were not working.

So they invented the New Deal, WPA, and photographing every house in Seattle.

Those projects then needed to be executed on.

So contractors were hired.

Who then put out job postings.

And filled jobs.

The government created the need. Not the Jobs.

Which brings me back to "jobs are a symptom that a need is going unfilled."
