American soldiers' primary mission remains evacuating the wounded, but they are also patrolling streets and beginning to organize an employment program. On Saturday, soldiers set up a camp to register job seekers' skill sets. Despite almost no publicity, hundreds of people lined up.

Before the earthquake an estimated 70 percent of Haitians lived on two dollars or less per day. Now, with scores of businesses shut down and many more people out of work, some say the relief effort should soon turn to jobs for the unemployed.

Eddie Noulsent is a former government worker and current resident of a tent city in the middle class suburb of Delmas. Speaking on a barren hillside where scores of locals are camping near their shattered homes, he says getting people back to work should be a priority. "So many young people would like to work. They dont have a job. There is plenty of crime in Haiti when there is no work for us. What can you do? Sit down, play cards, play dominoes and do crime," he said.

The Haitian government has said it must first relocate and register the hundreds of thousands of people now living in temporary shelters before starting a massive jobs program aimed at rebuilding the country
