The Next First (and Only) 100 Days
Keywords:
Lawrence Katz, Harvard labor economist, talks to Friedman about the jobs crisis in the U.S.. Katz identifies three jobs crises occurring at the same time today. One is the drop in the demand for goods and services that resulted from the longer term effects of the financial crisis of 2008, with rising foreclosures, weak housing markets, bad debt on the balance sheets of banks, and interest rates at close to zero reducing the scope of action by the Federal Reserve bank. The second, is the widespread long term unemployment with workers dropping out of the labor market. The third, is the nature of new factories and hiring. Work in new factories is done through increased automation, information technology and fewer workers. As a result job creation is a fraction of what it was in the past. Not mentioned here is the shrinking of the public sector under the strain of budget deficits for local, state and federal government. This leads to the question of how America will create jobs in the future. Katz believes the answer is creating more "hubs," networked urban areas like Austin, Silicon Valley, and Raleigh-Durham, by bringing together universities, high-tech manufacturers, software providers, and startup companies, to cooperate in creating new products that enhance people's lives worldwide. This has to be done by the private sector and government working together to build the infrastructure and make the investments in education, training of workers, and equipment for new job creation.

This varies by industry and companies. Companies with operations and opportunities in emerging markets are making large investments, whereas companies in the US market and dependent on US consumers are more cautious. Companies are also using some of the accumulated cash to make dividend payments.

Public spending and job creation in France- the alternate view of central bank chief Christian Noyer
12/10/2011
France's central bank chief provides an alternate view on public spending to create jobs in France. Public spending tends to focus on preserving yesterdays jobs and not as much on jobs for the future. Once public spending reaches a certain level of GNP of about 55%, a level France has crossed, the benefits shrink and the effort is counterproductive with the public expecting higher taxes in th future.

Italy's lack of investment in human capital, information technology and the weak services sector leading to low productivity growth
06/24/2011
The head of Italy's statistics agency Istat, says Italy's manufacturing sector has performed quite well, but it is only one sixth of the economy. The larger services sector has suffered from a lack of investment in human capital and information technology, and is performing poorly, leading to larger expected declines in GDP than anticipated of 2.4% in 2012. There is a need to steer education in the direction of new job opportunities. This suggests that more than the changes to labor laws and related changes taken by Monti and Fornero will be needed to revive the Italian economy.

The German "kurzarbeit" program is more elaborate and France has to make more progress to adopt that type of arrangement, but the direction is clear and has popular support in France in 2012-2013.

A realization that the idea of America transitioning to a services based economy without impairing jobs was fundamentally wrong
04/17/2006
The need for a strong and growing manufacturing base in the U.S. is one key realization for business leaders from the heads of Boeing, Intel and GE, and other business leaders to leaders in government. Failure to do this simply breeds a sense of pessimism about the future and creates an economy that leaves many productive people jobless, creates unsustainable trade deficits and foreign borrowing. Jeffrey Immelt says this in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post on the day he is appointed to head the President's Council on Jobs.

The U.S. unemployment rate and the long term unemployed dropping out of the labor market (1)- 2010-2013
12/10/2011
Harvard labor economist Lawrence Katz says the long term unemployed who are dropping out of the labor market represent one of three job crises facing America. The other two are the effects of manufacturing automation reducing demand for workers in new plants, and the effects of foreclosures and debt.

Harvard labor economist Lawrence Katz's solutions to the job crises and high unemployment in the U.S.
09/06/2011
Katz suggest a number of steps including a subsidy for companies creating new jobs. A form of this subsidy is used in Germany with the "kurzarbeit" program which preserves jobs in a downturn. Katz reminds us that there are three job crises facing America- long term unemployed not reflected in government unemployment figures, effects of foreclosures and debt, and the impact of automation with lower job creation in manufacturing. A sustained andmultipronged approach over a number of years is needed and no single panacea or misguided optimism will work.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
