Hilary Clinton Vs. Donald Trump Employment and Jobs

   One of the big topics in this years election is what the candidates are going to do about employment and jobs in the United States. 

Clinton 

  One of Hilary's top concerns is the employment market, and she is looking to improve that market by investing in infrastructure, manufacturing and clean energy. She also wants to strengthen our trade agreement enforcement, so less jobs will be moved overseas. She is looking to cut taxes and remove red tape, so small businesses can grow. And lastly she wants to dedicate resources to research and innovation, which will create create new industries of the future. Hilary believes the minmum wage should be raised to $12 per hour, and she would encourage states and cities that move it to $15 per hour.  With the addition to the increased minimum wage, Hilary wants to narrow the gender pay gap, which would also be accomplished by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act. Clinton Would guarantee up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. She also wants to restore full collecting bargaining rights for Unions, by protecting workers rights to join unions. Clinton wants to preserve social security in full, but she also wants to expand it, which she would do by raising Social Security's payroll tax above its current $118,500. 

Trump

  Trump has recently shared his plan, which would add 25 million jobs to the market over the next 10 years. His strategy involves: negotiating fair trade deals that will lead to more jobs on U.S soil, narrowing America's trade deficit and increasing domestic production, reducing taxes on businesses so products can be sold more easily around the world, replacing bureaucrats who "only know how to kill jobs" with job creation experts. With the minimum wage, Trump is looking to raise the federal minimum wage to $10 per hour, with rights for states and cities to increase it to higher amount if they want to. Trump has been giving mixed signals on his stance for equal pay. For paid leave Trump and his daughter Ivanka have come up with a policy that will offer 6 weeks of paid leave to new mothers following childbirth. Trump has not said anything on labor unions, but he has endorsed anti unions' "right-to-work" laws, which he thinks is better for the people". Trump wants to protect Social Security, but doesn't want to raise the payroll tax gap. 

  Clinton and Trump have some views that are surprisingly similar, and some that are entirely different. Both want to invest in creating jobs and raising the minimum wage, but is that possible, because usually as you raise the minimum wage the unemployment rate would increase, which wouldn't show jobs being created. It will be interesting to see if people look at this before they vote as this is an important matter in this years election, as people are more looking at things that don't matter in the election to make this country grow.
