JG proposals tend to focus on job creation by the public sector—national governments, lower levels of government (provincial, state, and local), and nongovernmental public service employers (not-for-profits). While some proponents do include employment in the for-profit sector (including, for example, public sector subsidies to private employers), most do not. This is both to avoid creating competitive advantages to firms with subsidized labour and also to focus the program on public service. For this reason, the PSE terminology is preferred by some proponents for highlighting public job creation to provide public services (Wray et al. 2018).
