A Quote by Milton Friedman

The long-range sloution to high unemployment is to increase the incentive for ordinary people to save, invest, work, and employ others. We make it costly for employers to employ people; we subsidize people not to go to work We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork.

We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork.

Milton Friedman

I motivate what I see in young people because we employ about forty thousand young people in our various Chick-fil-A units. Some of them come to work because they need to work; others just work because they just like to work. There's nothing wrong with that.

S. Truett Cathy

When you take the people who most need work and connect them with the work that most needs doing, you save. You save that young person’s life, you save a whole bunch of money, and you save the soul of this country when you invest and give people a chance, give people hope, give people opportunity.

Van Jones

We need to give people more of an incentive to work, to save, to invest, to create a true future for themselves.

Suze Orman

I've got people handling the media. I employ at the moment two people. No-one is paying income tax on the money they use to employ people.

Ken Livingstone

I've heard the argument that unemployment benefits somehow act as a disincentive to the long-term unemployed when it comes to looking for work, but the opposite is true. Unemployment Insurance serves as a powerful incentive for people to keep searching for jobs, rather than drop out of the labor force altogether.

Tom Perez

Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity. People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think’

Eliyahu M. Goldratt

If you want poor people to work you restore their incentive by giving them less, such as by cutting social services. If you want rich people to work you restore their incentive by giving them more, such as by cutting taxes.

Jim Stanford

But we will say something else. That for far too long in this country, people who can work, people who are able to work, and people who choose not to work: you cannot go on claiming welfare like you are now.

David Cameron

If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.

Matthew Lewis

We need employers to have an open mind about people with mental illness, and be willing to employ people, with the right support.

Luciana Berger

The idea [the government's 'You Win' campaign] is that instead of young people in Nigeria waiting to get employment, they should create their own jobs and employ their peers and employ other people.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

The benefits cap is right in principle because people don't pay their taxes so that families who could work don't work. People pay their taxes so we support people who really need to be supported.

David Cameron

Innovation grows out of membership and a sure sense of responsibility people feel for their work and the organizations that employ them.

Abraham Zaleznik

In Wisconsin, we understand people create jobs, not the government. Those who choose to employ - be it one or many - are to be appreciated and encouraged, so as to prosper and increase employment for others in the future.

Scott Walker

Because a person has to be either working or looking for work to be counted as part of the labor force, an increase in the number of people too discouraged to continue their search for work would reduce the unemployment rate, all else being equal - but not for a positive reason.

Ben Bernanke
