The White House hosted a summit on jobs yesterday and our International President Leo W. Gerard had a major role.

Below is a video from Campaign for America's Future in which President Gerard says he was buoyed by the good ideas that were presented at the summit, and praises Obama for using the summit to put a focus on creating jobs. Now, he says, Congress and the administration must act to address the infrastructure, trade, training and manufacturing policy issues that must be tackled to produce jobs in both the short and long term.
