Sandberg is making the case for Facebook's impact on the overall US economy as the company seeks to modify its image as an out-of-touch, Silicon Valley-centric enterprise.

With technology increasingly replacing workers in industries from retail to manufacturing, Facebook Inc chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said the company has a duty to help businesses create new jobs.

”Technology is certainly replacing jobs,'' she said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.``And technology can also be used to grow jobs. It's our responsibility to help small businesses and large businesses all around the world use technology to grow their businesses so that they can grow jobs.''
