Department of State blog post on supporting american jobs

by Robert D. Hormats, Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy, and Agricultural Affairs

As President Obama underscored in his address to the nation on August 31, "Our most urgent task is to restore our economy, and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work." Under Secretary Clinton's leadership, the State Department is focusing fully on that goal by advancing an international economic policy that promotes opportunity and job growth for Americans.

The primary task of the State Department's international economic policy is to promote American economic success in the global economy. That means crafting policies that help create -- and sustain the growth of -- well paying, productive American private sector jobs. We do so by using a wide range of tools: promoting exports, protecting intellectual property rights, expanding trade opportunities, attracting foreign investment, supporting a fair business environment abroad and drawing on the successful experiences of other countries.
