There's nothing more fundamental to having a decent life in America
than having a job. Unemployment is the public's top concern in
polls, and potentially the most damaging part of the Great
Recession. Yet the political discussion about jobs it is a morass
of posturing, blame and ideology. "Where Did the Jobs Go-and How
Can We Get Them Back?" is a basic guide to the jobs issue written
specifically for readers who aren't economists, financiers,
business school professors, or policy wonks working for think
tanks. It's designed to help readers sift through the political
rhetoric for context and clarification - and shares some ideas that
aren't being raised by politicians, but which could be crucial to
turning the U.S. jobs picture around. But while the topic is
serious, solving it doesn't have to be. Featuring chapters entitled
Has America Lost Its Mojo? and Just the Facts, Ma'am, this book
will be anything but dry. By applying the same winning approach
they used to irreverently explain the federal budget crisis in
Where Does the Money Go?, Bittle and Johnson will use pop culture
to help define the fundamental concepts that shape the varying
economic and jobs proposals. They cover proposals from the
political left, right, and center-balancing the budget, cutting
taxes, cutting bureaucracy, reviving manufacturing, improving
education, starting a major national infrastructure project,
closing the gap between rich and poor - and try to help readers
understand risks, costs, and trade-offs associated with each of
them as ways to create jobs. They also offer an in-depth look at
the truths and lies frequently thrown around about jobs and
technology, globalization, immigration, Baby Boomers, and more.
