Job creation

Process of generating new employment opportunities in the economy.

Definition

Job creation is the process of generating new employment opportunities in the economy. Founders reach for it when a vague conversation needs a shared, specific meaning. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.

Common mistake

Using Job creation as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
