Via CNN, of course:
(CNN) The head of General Electric told a jobs summit at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Monday that businesses needed to take the lead on job creation.
At a conference where many of the comments were focused on government barriers to hiring, GE (GE, Fortune 500) Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt acknowledged there needed to be some policy changes by Congress and the Obama administration. But he said that the responsibility for hiring lay with businesses.
“The people who are part of the business sector, the people in this room, have got to stop complaining about government and get some action underway,” he told the group. “There’s no excuse today for lack of leadership. The truth is we all need to be part of the solution.”
Immelt is the chair of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. He said the group has made a number of recommendations for changes in government policies that should be able to help job creation, such as the executive order announced Monday asking independent agencies to rid their books of old and outdated regulations.
Immelt said he is committed to working with Obama on other moves that can help hiring, and that he expects to have proposals by the end of the year that should help to create up to 1 million jobs.
But he said that it’s important that businesses take action — like taking some risks, and thinking about bringing back jobs that had been moved overseas.

[Immelt] said that arguing between business groups and the government isn’t in the best interest of the nation’s economy.
“We can’t always be fighting. We need to act, and the private sector can do more,” he said.
The Chamber’s jobs summit came in the wake of a disappointing government jobs report that showed hiring ground to a near halt in June. Immelt and other speakers referred to the report as a sign of the serious problems facing the labor market.
“We have a lot of work to do,” he said.

I just wonder why they think we should take their advice on anything. We have gotten over the premise that they are honest people.
They have all lied enough to send all future generations to hell and then some. LOL!
GE is the company that has given America the middle finger as it spread 110 Nuclear power plants all over this nation, each one capable of going Fukushima on us with an earthquake, flood, tornado, etc. Each one is a ticking time bomb that can pollute the entire nation as we saw with Japan. And who is going to pay for the cleanup, the mutant children, the death… it’s not GE. It’s going to be YOU! Your government has already sold you out. In the event of a meltdown, it is YOU who will lose your house, your business, the lives of your children, and be forced to keep GE profitable. GE -- we bring things to life, and then kill them. Other, more better, sources of energy exist if only we would stop paying GE off.
And my daughter ‘thanks’ GE for their ‘contribution’ to America – she ‘owes’ them big time.
This is nothing but recycled news that was reported a couple of weeks ago. GE is a special contributor and receiver of favors from Obama. What else could this nitwit say? If it is made by GE, I promise not to buy it.
Recycle (‘convert waste’) GE, now! Better yet, trash it.
Oh you whiners…
Look,the US is not Greece.The Obama guy said so.
The US is definitely not Iceland.
Iceland has guts.
So quit complaining!
You know you love it!
Whew!

Immelt is a hypocrite. A damn liar. I worked at a GE subsidiary in IT and it was all imported Indian programmers. They don’t give a rats ass about Americans.
GE should fold up and move to India. Immelt can get an apartment in Bangalore.
Screw them. Never buy anything GE!!!!
‘Never buy anything GE’ – that IS the solution.
All this from a guy who has never started a business… He’s an employee not a business owner! His personal capital has never been at risk like a small business owner. He’s backing up a totally discredited CEO of America, a man who could not operate so much a lemonade stand and one who never managed a private sector business at all, let alone start one on his own. And he’s calling the shots on this massive economy? Have we lost our collective minds by allowing this farce to continue? He needs to be impeached!

Exactly.
