We must smooth the transition from school to work.

We have built a strong economy that has put almost 3 million more Americans on the payrolls in the last year alone.

But on the whole I believe that generally there are more people working today than have ever worked before.

It should not be too great a hardship to stretch out the filling of vacancies and, in some cases, even to forgo replacing a portion of those who leave their positions in your agency.

It has advanced the peaceful progress of our Nation and the well-being of all Americans by strengthening the growth of private enterprise and employment.

If members of minority groups can't be employed because they can't find housing, then we must find housing.

We must continue to sustain high employment without inflation.

We already have many effective tools of an active manpower policy.

Our goal is not just a job for every worker.

The number of jobs has grown by 5.3 million.

You believe in prosperity at home, you believe that every man and woman that wants a job and who is willing to work ought to have a job, and so do I.

I am happy to say to you now that I am employed full time right now.

This year, for the first time, we have broken the barrier of 70 million jobs, and right now we are creating additional new jobs at the rate of 100,000 every month.

We will keep moving toward a nation where every man can find work and a fair reward for his labor, where the old can live in decency and the poor can reach for dignity, where no man suffers from fear or hatred and where every man can seek fulfillment and hope.

We will not return to declining employment at home and declining prestige abroad.

The fact is that wages are higher, employment is higher, profits are higher, and the economy is stronger than at any time in American history.

Giving a man a chance to work and feed his family and provide for his children does not destroy his initiative.

Our hopes for the handicapped can be realized if the employers of this Nation will but consider all job applicants, regardless of handicaps, solely on the basis of their qualifications to do the job.
