McCain.Obama.Rendell. * Brit

Learning about different issues and the candidates who represent those issues, I thought was very interesting. I learned a lot more about McCain, Obama, and Rendell than I ever knew. I now know how each representative feels about the issue I researched which is employment. For example McCain's plan includes creating many good American jobs. Obama wants to raise minimum wage so full time workers can maintain a living, raise their families, and pay for basic needs. Ed Rendell would like to increase funding for the state job training programs that retain displaced workers and teach skills needed in today's job market. As you can see, each candidate has a different view and different ideas but each one is important to the economy.

I also got some information and opinions about how other citizens feel about each Representative and employment. For example I got on some websites that contained blogs about the Representatives, and I explored other peoples opinions and I was very surprised. I found others talking about how minimum wage increased and how average weekly earnings rose .1 percent. Also I found that wages make up the largest part of a families income. I saw that everyone has different opinions on everything.

My view on learning more about McCain, Obama, and Rendell and their view on employment changed from before. I think each candidate has well spoken ideas about Employment. I now know that McCain wants to create more American jobs, Obama wants to raise minimum wage so that full time workers can afford to raise families and pay for basic needs. And lastly I learned that Ed Rendell wants to increase funding for state job training programs that retain displaced workers and teach skills needed in today's job market. Without researching this issue and each Representative, I would have never learned how they feel about employment.
