Updated Dec. 14 | With the U.S. presidential contest kicking into high gear and job creation on the minds of many voters, Jim Lehrer spoke with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Wednesday morning to talk about how foreign policy decisions can tie into economic and job growth.

Their interview is part of a symposium where NewsHour correspondents Jeffrey Brown and Paul Solman facilitated discussions about innovation and the global marketplace, in partnership with Intel, The Innovation Economy and The Aspen Institute.
