That's not necessarily true. Employment opportunity is only created if there is an increased demand for the product. Demand for a product is the only thing that drives employment. Hiring additional workers without a need--increased demand--is fiscally irresponsible, and no shareholder should stand for it. Notice today's headlines that mention the recent recession has shown corporations that they can maintain (perhaps even increase) productivity with less personnel. So all the subsidies and tax breaks in the world will not create jobs; only demand for product creates jobs. And even that may not be true now.
