Obama’s Unemployment Fix: A Department of Jobs?

The Obama administration has a big idea to bolster employment: a Department of Jobs. This isn’t a South Park​ episode satirizing the White House but an actual idea floated by an administration official in the New York Times. The irony of a “Department of Jobs” is clearly lost on the hapless president.

President Barack Obama​ has had difficulty creating jobs. But he is a master at creating new government bureaus, commissions, and agencies. He seems oblivious to the causal connection between the latter and the former.
