US President Barack Obama yesterday called for the private sector to create more jobs, but underlined the government's role in promoting professional education.
"Now, government is not - and should not be - the main engine of job creation in this country. That's the role of the private sector," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
"But one thing government can do is partner with the private sector to make sure that every worker has the necessary skills for the jobs they're applying for," Obama said.
His comments came after Labour Department figures showed only 54,000 new jobs had been created in May - just a quarter of the February-April pace - and the unemployment rate had edged up to 9.1 per cent.
The president noted that the US economy had not got into what he called a "mess" overnight, and would not resolve its problems quickly. "It's going to take time," he warned.
