PM Plans To Create 100,000 Jobs
Gordon Brown has unveiled plans to create up to 100,00 new jobs in a bid to combat the recession. The PM's pledge comes in an interview for today's Observer magazine. Sky's Niall Paterson reports.
People don't want to start the New Year with the bang and Gordan Brown's big idea suddenly grabs the attention, creating new jobs at a time when many are losing theirs, all these are the begining of what looks like being one of the toughest period in modern British history.
The Prime Minister told the Observer: I want to show how we will be able to, through public investments and public works, create probably 100,000 additional jobs... schools,hospitals, environmental work and infrastructure, transport... We are not going to stand by and allow nothing to be done when people are facing difficulties. Sooner public money will be used to found public works, providing as many as 30,000 jobs, repairing schools, helping hurted construction firms . There will be farther investments in the environmental and digital industries. Mr. Brown believes the world's economy will double over the next 20 years and Britain needs to take advantage. And further measures are promised to get banks' lending once more.
Suddenly the creation of the jobs through the public works has a familiar feel to it's President Roosevelt New Deal in the 30s, was designed to lift the America out of the economic Dow Johns/but many students feel that that plan in fact prolongs the great depresion and with plenty of people who say Gorge Brown's plan will have lilttle or no effect.
Unemployment currently stands at an alarming 1.9 million, the highest has been since 1997, experts see it could get as high as 3.1 million in two years time, in those circumstances, 100,000 extra jobs which could drop in the ocean.
"I frankly think that the made-works scheme of this kind simplly don't work in the modern age, and I think Gordan Brown is simply desperate to make sure that the figure of 3 million is not reached."
That plan's goal is a cautiously ambitious one, but the New Year's resolutions are notorious difficult to stick to, you are on Sky News, Wesminister
