This is what investing in large scale infrastructure projects does in terms of jobs created. As the country develops more energy sources and expands roads and other important infrastructure, more companies set up their businesses in the country. Read industrialization which is the source of most jobs created.

Good stuff, I however hope it will not turn out to be the case like in Pakistan and Bangladesh with factory fires, poor working conditions and slave-like wages.
