The Coming Jobs War
The Coming Jobs War
Jim Clifton
Gallup Press, 2011
From the Book: Drawing on 75 years of Gallup studies, the author explains why jobs are the new global currency for leaders. More than peace or money or any other good, the business, government, military, city, and village leaders who can create good jobs will own the future. The problem is that leaders don’t know how to create jobs – especially in America. What they should do is recognize that the world is in a war for jobs.
