Hire More People to Work for the Government Perhaps the easiest way for the government to create jobs is for it to create government jobs. The example quoted most often: the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA), which during the late 1930s employed more than 8 million people. The jobs were project-based and largely in construction - we got a lot of highways and airports out of it - but also occasionally in professional fields such as teaching, nursing and writing.

"The country has become much more conflictive because of Evo," says Ximena Delvillar, 36, who lives in a relatively affluent section of La Paz. Bolivia, in fact, seemed on the verge of a civil war last year between the indigenous people and the white economic élite of the Eastern lowlands. That upper class is hardly blameless, but even Bolivians sympathetic to Morales complain that he and MAS have consolidated inordinate power and are wielding it with a vengeance against political...
