Answer
Plunkitt's quotation reflects his political influence within Tammany Hall, allowing him to control jobs and contracts in the city. This power dynamic enabled him to ask employees to resign, request jobs for immigrants/poor people, seek loans ("jobs") from employers, and have immigrants/poor people find him employment. His statements highlight the patronage system and the intertwining of political power and personal gain within the Tammany Hall political machine.
