A Vision for Economic Renewal

America is suffering from a profound jobs crisis.  The unemployment rate is rising again.  Millions of Americans have given up looking for a job.  Yet, here in Washington, cutting spending and closing deficits occupy center stage.  Neither the administration nor Congress seem to have a job creation agenda.

At this July 22 event, the New America Foundation and the Task Force on Job Creation released "A Vision for Economic Renewal:  An American Jobs Agenda."  The task force has developed 15 recommendations -- covering manufacturing, international trade and China, the green economy, infrastructure development and youth unemployment -- the administration and Congress need to take now in order to put America back on a path to full employment and economic recovery.
