Unless your husband is doling out charity he profits from any one who works for him or he would have no need to hire them. Jobs are only "created" by demand for goods or services almost always provided to make profits (except for charity). I have no doubt your husband is a good man etc but please...don't get caught up in right wing Luntz labeling of economic terms. The man who goes out and spends $10 bucks buying your products or services is the real "job creator"...those that provide the jobs are "job profiteers".
