The importance of Job Creation

What is the purpose of work? Work is fundamental to the emotional and financial well-being of a person. It is the foundation upon which we define our own lives and the lives of others. Work not only provides finances but also establishes a personal identity. It enables the worker to be a consumer, as well as to receive recognition and respect. It helps transform the self-identity of our people.
