Elizabeth Warren's Jobs Plans and U.S. Public Opinion

POLLING MATTERS
JUNE 11, 2019

Most of the 23 Democratic presidential candidates talk about jobs in one way or another, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren has gained particular attention recently for her very specific and dramatic job-creation proposals. Warren made headlines last week with her plan for "fundamental, structural changes in our government's approach to the economy," with a strategy for using "all the tools of government to defend and create American jobs." Warren proposed spending $2 trillion in clean energy technology and combating climate change -- in the process creating "more than a million good jobs here at home."

Warren also called for the creation of a new cabinet-level Department of Economic Development, with "the sole responsibility to create and defend quality, sustainable American jobs."

This type of major focus on jobs is not a new concept. Franklin Roosevelt ran for president in 1932 promising a "New Deal" to help mitigate the massive unemployment gripping the nation, and he later created the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps expressly to use government funds to employ workers in a wide variety of government jobs.

In 1992, Bill Clinton campaigned by decrying the incumbent government's failure to "produce what we need: good jobs in a growing economy" and promised to put "people first by investing more than $50 billion annually over the next four years to put America back to work."

And President Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign promised that he would be "the greatest jobs president that God ever created," in the process promulgating an economic plan that he said would result in the creation of 25 million jobs. Trump has continued to trumpet the importance of jobs since taking office, headlining a number of his tweets with a three-word mantra: "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!"
