Businesses like yours have created 7.8 million new jobs over the past 44 months.

If you fight for your country overseas, you should never have to fight for a job when you come home.

One common-sense way that we could put people back to work would be investing in modernizing our nation's infrastructure.

No one should ever lose their job simply because of who they are or who they love.

These men and women should have the chance to power our economic engine, both because their talents demand it and because no one who fights for our country should ever have to fight for a job.

You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.

We are putting veterans back to work rebuilding and protecting America.

I challenge the private sector to hire or train 100,000 veterans and their spouses by 2013.

Our goal isn't just to put people back to work, although that's priority number one.

No veteran who fought for our Nation overseas should have to fight for a job when they return home.

And we must all continue our efforts to ensure that these talented men and women who would be an asset to any company have every opportunity to succeed after they serve our Nation.

This legislation complements the new partnership launched by my administration that will make it easier for manufacturing companies to hire thousands of returning servicemembers who have the skills our country needs.

Helping our veterans find work strengthening America's transportation system is a commitment we are proud to fulfill.

Our mission isn't just to put people back to work, it's to rebuild an economy where that work pays.

The economy has now added private sector jobs for 28 straight months, for a total of 4.4 million payroll jobs during that period.

I want to make sure that every single veteran who comes home from Iraq or Afghanistan, that they don't have to fight for a job or a roof over their heads here in the United States of America after they fought for us.

We're not going to go back to the days when 30 million people can't get health insurance despite working two jobs.

We want to make sure that you're getting a job after you graduate.
