ELI5, how someone who earns money through stocks creates jobs.

Let's say you run a little ice cream company. Your ice cream shop is doing great! You want to build more space to make more ice cream and give out more cones to your friends! (hopefully their parents will pay, too) The problem is that building a bigger ice cream shop is expensive, and you don't have all the money you need right now. Actually it's really really expensive and not even your credit card can cover it. 

What if you asked random people to give you money in exchange for part ownership of the company? That way you can get all the money you need now to build, and the people who helped you out get some money back in the future - it's a win/win situation. 

Since you decided to hand out ownership slices (stock) to these people (stockholders), you now are able to build a much bigger shop and hire new people to run the bigger shop. Once you start making money (which is now, everyone loves ice cream!) then those people (stockholders) start getting a certain share of the money your business makes after paying normal bills (dividends). 

It's not that people make money and jobs are created, it's that people give money to create jobs, then some (or a lot) is made back.
