“We found that we can actually do better with high-quality, high-skilled American workers,” Rutledge said. “We’ve been doing that and our company was so successful we were able to do (that) huge transaction … and put together this tremendous company.”

Rutledge said the new U.S. jobs will be “high-paying” with pensions and health coverage.

“They are the kind of jobs that people want. They are good, solid middle-class jobs,” he said.

“Texas is number one in the nation for job creation because of the pro-business climate that we have,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said at The White House meeting applauding job creation for the Lone Star State. “We have the right workforce to take care of the needs like Charter Communications. This is a win-win. It’s a win for the president, it’s a win for Charter, it’s a win for the great state of Texas.”
