“And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity - it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.” YearsSelfCountryDreamJobsAmericaLyingIndividualCommunityMemoriesFailingTalentIdentityCitizensFitTrainingConsequenceDignitySelf WorthPrimariesAmerican DreamGood JobNotableGreat AmericanTraining And Experience Author:Jim Clifton
“Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.” NeedsYearsJobsAmericaHoursNumbersClassMillionsWeekMiddleRight NowLowsPercentAdultsOrganizationRatePopulationMiddle ClassMinimumGood JobNotableDeliveringPaychecksFull Time Jobs Author:Jim Clifton
