The Coming Jobs War EPUB

Definitive leadership strategy for fixing the American economy, drawn from Gallup's unmatched global polling and written by the company's chairman.

What everyone in the world wants is a good job. ';This is one of the most important discoveries Gallup has ever made,' says the company's Chairman, Jim Clifton.

In a provocative book for business and government leaders, Clifton describes how this undeniable fact will affect all leadership decisions as countries wage war to produce the best jobs.

Leaders of countries and cities, Clifton says, should focus on creating good jobs because as jobs go, so does the fate of nations. Jobs bring prosperity, peace and human development but long-term unemployment ruins lives, cities and countries.

Creating good jobs is tough, and many leaders are doing many things wrong. They're undercutting entrepreneurs instead of cultivating them. They're running companies with depressed workforces. They're letting the next generation of job creators rot in bad schools.

A global jobs war is coming, and there's no time to waste. Cities are crumbling for lack of good jobs. Nations are in revolt because their people can't get good jobs. The cities and countries that act first that focus everything they have on creating good jobs are the ones that will win.

The Coming Jobs War offers a clear, brutally honest look at America's biggest problem and a cogent prescription for solving it.
