Growing Jobs 

This book provides concrete examples and practical guidelines for addressing the most serious economic challenge facing the United States and every community in the nation: growing good jobs and enabling people to function effectively in these occupations. It lays out a methodology that enables each community to find its unique path toward the common vision of an economy that works for all citizens, and provides suggestions for moving the community from the current system to a “transformed” economic development system. The book presents success stories from Austin, Texas, and Dubuque, Iowa, and highlights the principles that have made these two cities’ approaches effective.
