The suggestion assumes that corporates were under-hired, which is not true.Secondly to avail the tax benefits- What is to prevent the corporates to fire the existing employees and hire new ones?
Creating consumers in general terms is not the solution.It is not what you spend but what you spend for that fuels economic recovery.If consumers for non essential items are created, situation shall worsen.If you create consumers for infra structure( results will take some time in coming) then you are on a safe wicket.
Merely increasing jobs for the sake of creating consumers shall result in negative growth of the corporate sector.Best way is to explore new areas of investment in goods and services and effect a cut in imports.
