Washington: Vowing to "fight for every job" shipped out of US, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has said that her government would create millions of employment opportunities "that can't be outsourced" if she comes to power.

"I will fight for every single job in America, we cant save them all, but were going to save a lot more of them than we have been lately," Clinton said at the annual convention of the AFL-CIO at Philadelphia. "Then were going to create millions of new, high paying jobs that cant be outsourced," the New York Senator, who is fighting the political battle against Illinois Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic Party nomination this August, said.

Criticising President George W Bush for "standing by" and "watching" as "we have lost three million manufacturing jobs since he became president", Clinton said he was "doing nothing about the loopholes in our tax code that actually encourage companies to ship jobs overseas". Promising to be the "strongest, toughest and most determined person" to be "bargaining" for Americans in respect of outsourcing jobs, Clinton said, "I don't need to tell any of you this. No one knows better than organized labour how important it is to have a fighter on your side.

"When you send someone to the bargaining table, you need the strongest, toughest, most determined person youve got. Not someone who is just going to talk about problems. But someone who will roll up her sleeves and get the job done for you," she said.
