From: Ricardo B., Marietta, FL

Create programs that employ and train the unemployed for new jobs (e.g., in health care or engineering). Let people get involved in the field by working in it, and give employers tax credits for training and maintaining these apprentice employees until the employees are ready to move on or the employers decide they want to keep them!
