job creation
Making new positions
Job creation is the generation of new employment opportunities, typically discussed as a goal of economic policy or business expansion.
Politicians claim credit for job creation; economists debate which policies actually produce it.
The phrase often appears in discussions of tax incentives, infrastructure spending, or industry growth: The factory promised job creation for the region.
