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

What everyone on this planet wants is a good job. “This is among the most important discoveries Gallup has ever made,” says the company’s Chairman, Jim Clifton.

In The Coming Jobs War, Clifton makes the bold assertion that job creation and successful entrepreneurship are the world’s most pressing issues at the moment, outpacing runaway government spending, environmental degradation and even the specter of global terrorism.

The book is grounded in findings from Gallup’s World Poll, which reveals the implications of the jobs war on everything from economics to foreign policy to nothing less than The us’s moral authority on this planet. And it offers a prescription for attacking the jobs issue head-on. Clifton argues that the solution to creating good jobs should be found in cities, not in the federal government. Promoting entrepreneurship and job creation should be the sole mission and purpose of cities’ business leaders, government officials and philanthropists.

Clifton says that the next big breakthrough will come from the combination of the forces within big cities, great universities and powerful local leaders. Their combined effect is the most reliable, controllable and predictable solution to The us’s biggest problem. Strong leadership teams and a natural order are already in place within cities — in governments and local business and philanthropic entities, with caring leaders working on initiatives to fuel local economic growth and to create good jobs. The feat these leaders have to pull off is doubling their entrepreneurial energy by aligning their local forces: local tribal leaders, super mentors and universities.

Winning the jobs war will require all hands on deck, and failure is not an option, especially for america, which has been the global leader in promoting freedom and entrepreneurship. The us’s place on this planet is at stake, and there are other countries poised to surpass a sputtering U.S. economy that may be currently growing at only 2% annually. The biggest threat? China, with a GDP that may be increasing at nearly 10% annually — a pace for you to make it the world’s leading and most influential economy within the next 30 years.

While the statistics are dire, Clifton remains optimistic about The us’s ability to win the jobs war because The us has been here before. “The Greatest Generation saved The us by beating the Japanese and Germans at [World War II]. The Baby Boomers saved The us a second time by beating the same foes, Japan and Germany, in an economic war that decided the leadership of the free world, again,” he says.
