Helping the Economy To the Editor: Re “Job Gains Slow Even as Recovery Looks Stronger” (front page, Feb. 5):

February 9, 2011

America’s consumers have kept their end of the bargain in righting the economy. America’s business sector has not.
While the public has been shopping and spending more, businesses continue to outsource jobs and to sit on jobs rather than hiring people, despite record profits and other positive signs that the economy is on the upswing.
Consumers cannot lift the American economy on their own.
