Secretary Gary Locke joined President Barack Obama for a meeting about the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The members of the Council represented a variety of different sectors of the economy, which brought diverse views on numerous ideas. The Council's main focus was to find new ways to promote growth by encouraging businesses to hire, educating and training workers to be competitive, and bringing the best jobs and businesses to the US.
They discussed how to continue the dialogue between the private sector and government. They also discussed how to help entrepreneurs get the fincances needed to get started and how to help exsisting business owners expand. I feel as if this meeting was a first big step towards achievement.
This ties into our AP Government class because the last couple of days we've had an assignment on the different cabinet departments.
