What? Job Creation? Where? When?

It is the nature of how modern investment pundits measure returns that have lead us to this employment dead end. Our investment culture believes that only those connected to prestige or employing a big name Ceo is worth investing in. We need a new barometer on investments that measure the gain value to GDP a job creates and be prepared to re-measure the pie consistantly. As the pie grows so does the room for additional technology implementation,(and more jobs).

For instance the Gov'ts current approach to infrastructure spending does not include the measurement of productivity growth from reduction of traffic or greater efficiency of electric transmission. The gov'ts approach is to "build comb factories for a nation of bald men".They don't implement technology and they don't manage technology markets fairly.

Regarding the Gov't,on job creation, don't expect politicians to do anything more than try to get re-elected or support their parties, because that is what they do. That is their job.They will continue hiring more people to work in those comb factories.

Investment culture has to get out of the way of the new ideas and think beyond their Alma maters. Not taking away from brilliance that rises from Universities, but is that now, the only place innovation can occur? If these great Universities were doing their job we would not be here. They have failed the test of leadership for our economy too.

Educators should educate and stop worrying about building their coffers of endowments. Universities should be working towards lowering their costs , educating more , and learning more themselves. The debt they have created for goal oriented students is a disgrace and a perfect example of the "customer forgotten". They may not realize this but they are almost dinosaurs as more people move towards on-line educations.

A quick note, Tax incentives are just more turmoil for growth, our nation should work with what we have in place.

These times should open all investors ears and eyes. The Job Creation solution is right under your nose,... more risk investment for all in American innovation.
