Just curious, what should they have said specifically about "jobs?"
Put another way, what does government do to create them, or what should they do to create them?
And the problem with your linked article is it's biased garbage, from start to finish. Just for example, the author
who is a well known hack dismissed the Green New Deal as a jobs killer. What that indicates is she's clueless about the provisions of the Green New Deal, or a liar, ignorant or dishonest. She doesn't cite anything for the claim it would be a job killer, because the studies,
like the referenced in this article, show the opposite. If she has studies showing it's a job killer, she should cite them, but she baselessly asserts them.
Someone else mentioned education and child care. My own state which is very red (supermajorities for the GOP) funds two years of community college for pretty much anyone for free, and funds 4 year degrees for better students. All that is because the state found out employers have a hard time finding qualified workers. So it's a jobs program. But when proposed and advocated by Democrats, it's evil socialism, and not even about jobs.
It's fine if Betsy disagrees with Tennessee and the conservatives who run it, but if she wants to claim that increasing access to education isn't about jobs, then she needs to cite her work. But that's not who she is, which is a paid hack pushing Republicans and who has a history of lying and telling half truths as blatantly as anyone you'll find if that's what she thinks her paymasters want.
Really all you needed to read was the first couple of paragraphs.
It was an alarming spectacle for anyone who works for a living. These Democratic candidates don't believe jobs are the way to end poverty. For them, "work" is a four-letter word. Their approach is to take money from working stiffs and give it to slackers.
Just for example, pushes to increase minimum wages can ONLY impact....workers!
The problem with ACA is that at higher income levels, even in states that expanded Medicaid for the very poor, the subsidies keep healthcare unaffordable. Addressing that means by definition helping people above Medicaid cutoffs, or WORKERS.
You also don't get child care if you are at home. So free childcare is again targeted at helping women, in particular, WORK and make it pay more than 'welfare.' That's not the case if childcare takes half your weekly pay. Why bother WORKING if working doesn't make you better off financially?
So she is as usual full of crap and just seeing her name at the top of the page tells you what's coming. She didn't disappoint here.
