In The Coming Jobs War, Clifton makes the bold assertion that job creation and successful entrepreneurship are the worlds most pressing issues right now, outpacing runaway government spending, environmental degradation and even the threat of global terrorism. The book is grounded in findings from Gallups World Poll, which reveals the implications of the jobs war on everything from economics to foreign policy to nothing less than Americas moral authority in the world. And it offers a prescription for attacking the jobs issue head-on. Clifton argues that the solution to creating good jobs must be found in cities, not in the federal government. Promoting entrepreneurship and job creation must be the sole mission and purpose of cities business leaders, government officials and philanthropists. Winning the jobs war will require all hands on deck, and failure is not an option, especially for the United States, which has been the global leader in promoting freedom and entrepreneurship. Americas place in the world is at stake, and there are other countries poised to surpass a sputtering U.S. economy. While the statistics are dire, Clifton remains optimistic about Americas ability to win the jobs war because America has been here before. The Greatest Generation saved America by beating the Japanese and Germans at [World War II]. The Baby Boomers saved America a second time by beating the same foes, Japan and Germany, in an economic war that determined the leadership of the free world, again, he says.
