Creating jobs is easy, fixing the economy so that good jobs are created is more challenging ...
If you simply eliminated all forms of government welfare (including personal and corporate welfare), returned to a small but effective regulatory system while drastically reducing bureaucracy, drastically cut taxes while simplifying the tax code, and eliminated the minimum wage 10 million jobs would appear overnight. Most of these jobs would be created by individuals and businesses that were "exploiting" people who had limited options because they were suddenly very affordable labor, and most of the people with limited options would tolerate these jobs because the threat of starvation is a powerful motivator to settle.
Now, being that in an environment like this new jobs would be created at a rate far faster than population growth this "exploitation" would actually be fairly short lived and few people would be working for a wage that was lower than the current minimum wage.
In order to create good jobs you need to create an environment where investment is going into making employees more productive and/or to develop new knowledge based industries. This requires freeing up investment capital that is currently allocated towards government debt (by paying down government debt) and consumer debt (by reducing total consumer debt).
