Moody's: Clinton's Economic Policies Would Create 10 Million Jobs

Hillary Clinton will trigger economic growth and create more than 10 million jobs if her financial proposals are followed, Moody's Analytics says.

The financial services giant also predicts GDP growth would also increase an annual average of 2.7 percent under the Democratic presidential nominee.

"The upshot of our analysis is that Secretary Clinton's economic policies when taken together will result in a stronger U.S. economy under almost any scenario," the company writes in a just-released analysis.

"The positive effects of Secretary Clinton's policies outweigh the negative ones, lifting productivity . . . They exhibit faith in the ability of government policy to positively influence economic behavior."

Moody's says the biggest benefactors of Clinton's policies would be low-and middle-income households which would be hit with higher taxes, while high-income households would pay "much more."

Last month, Moody's did the same numbers-crunching based on Donald Trump's economic plans and concluded they would end in a "more isolated and diminished" economy which would "suffer meaningfully."
