Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker fact-checked Hillary Clinton’s recent comment that businesses and corporations don’t create jobs.

“Yes, the private sector creates jobs,” Secretary Pritzker said on Wednesday when asked about Clinton’s comments by John Harwood at the Washington Ideas Forum.

Clinton’s comment exploded over the weekend after a campaign rally Friday in which she stunningly said, “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”
