The vision for the Success Progress website is to help
    people utilize knowledge locked up in books to gain
   productivity. Most of the books are business related
because small to medium sized businesses will dictate the
  future of America. The Coming Jobs War confirms this
  through verifiable data. Jim Clifton is the Chairman of
Gallup. This is an excellent book that everybody needs to
                           read.
Why is this important to me?
I don't want to waste your time and I want you to get
actionable information from this summary. America from
the top down looks pretty grim. We have been interlaced
with several wars trying to police the world, our currency
 is being debased because of incompetent spending, the
 education system is not working even though we throw
   close to $1 Trillion at it annually and we are basically
    bankrupt if you add in all the unfunded liabilities. To
  throw another log on the fire, our healthcare costs are
      more than the banking crisis of 2008 EACH YEAR.
America from the bottom up is still the greatest country in
 the world because we are free. I am American and very
proud to live here. Entrepreneurial spirit lives in the blood
     of Americans and it is this basic horse sense and
  stubbornness that will fix the above issues. Jim's book
  speaks in detail what it will take to get it done and the
                almighty JOB is the answer.
The Coming Jobs War is packed with 12 relevant chapters
covering China, Joblessness, Innovation and Wellness. I am
  going to focus on four key aspects to highlight the book.
1. Joblessness - When there are not enough jobs,
  everything deteriorates. Jim profiles two cities to make
     the point. Why is Detroit a mess and San Francisco
   California thriving? When cities lose jobs, tax revenue
    reduces and the spiral downward persists. I am from
Detroit and understand this first hand. Detroit was the 4th
 largest city in the U.S. and was an awesome place to live
  (before my lifetime). Today, the political and education
    system are loaded with corruption and malfeasance.
     Leaders need to focus on Job creation at all costs to
  survive. Now it is even more competitive because every
  city in the U.S. is competing to create jobs not just with
     other neighboring cities but with the whole world.
2. Behavioral Economics - Jim defines Behavior Economics
as data that mathematically track what men and women
  were thinking before they did something, before they
  transacted something. Behavior Economics focuses on
"decision moments" before a transaction is made. Simple
states of mind, like confidence, optimism, determination,
 creativity, hope and drive all exist before decisions that
 create the transactions of life. These bring GDP growth.
3. Customer Engagement - The key to creating jobs is to
  acquire new customers and new sales. It is that simple.
 When companies are growing, then people get hired and
   are able to spend money and the economy grows. Jim
argues (with good cause) that behavioral economics create
  decision points for customers to buy or leave you. Thus
 the real key is for business owners to focus on customer
  engagement. This can be mathematically computed for
      potential sales. Let's suppose you can make 1000
  customer impressions per month and your average sale
      price is $100. If the impression is positive (Apple,
    Southwest Airlines etc.) then you have a potential of
$100,000 in sales. Likewise if the impressions are bad then
  you have the potential of losing $100,000 in sales. This
   simple concept is so strong that every business leader
4. Employee Engagement - Organizations that have
engaged employees grow their earnings per share 4 times
  more than organizations with disengaged employees.
 When I read this statistic, I did not believe it. I believe it
    now because we had an issue where one of our key
 thought leaders became disengaged and it costs us real
money. I can tell you that employee engagement is the key
to customer engagement and the 4 times growth number
 is probably low. The effect of disengaged employees on
 our company really put us back. Small business leaders
     need to focus on employee engagement to foster
  customer engagement which creates growth and new
                            jobs.
I only touched on a few of the key relevant points in this
 book. I recommend you read it because it will open your
eyes. Jim profiles our health care problems and says that if
they don't get fixed then we cannot win the Jobs war. The
  good news about this is that it comes down to personal
    accountability because obesity is tied to 70% of the
 healthcare costs. This is something that can be controlled
                    from the bottom up.
I hope you have found this short summary useful. The key
to any new idea is to work it into your daily routine until it
    becomes habit. Habits form in as little as 21 days. One
 thing you can take away from this book is the importance
of new jobs. If we want our future in the U.S. to be fruitful
  then we need to create new jobs. In order to do that, our
   local leaders have to foster the environment to promote
job creation above any other agenda. Business leaders can
     create incremental jobs by focusing on employee and
  customer engagement. Control the interactions and your
                      company will grow.
