The government could "create" jobs by getting out of the way of progress - like the pipeline for example. A perfect of example of industry waiting for approval from regulators so they can create thousands of living wage jobs as opposed to some stupid taxpayer paid (borrowed) for temporary make work feel good crap like insulating houses. Deregulation would have more positive job creation benefits than trying to have government "create" jobs for people.

Note: The relative poverty rate is defined here as the share of individuals living in households with income below half of household-size-adjusted median income. Poverty rates are based on income after taxes and transfers. Source: Authors' analysis of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Stat Extracts (data group labelled "late 2000s") According to Figure C, in the late 2000s, 17.3 percent of the U.S. population lived in poverty—the highest relative poverty rate among OECD peers. The U.S. relative poverty rate was nearly three times higher than that of Denmark, which had the lowest rate (6.1 percent), and about 1.8 times higher than the (unweighted) peer country average of 9.6 percent. epi.org
