Morphology

job + creator

The meaning 'a person or organization that generates new employment opportunities' is directly derived from combining 'job' (employment) with 'creator' (one who makes or produces): it literally denotes someone who creates jobs. This noun+agent composition is a regular, transparent pattern in English and in many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Job creator gives a clear image: job means work and creator means maker, so it names someone who 'creates new jobs'. Think of a new factory opening and hiring many people — that's why the phrase means a person or organization that makes new jobs.
