In The New Geography of Jobs, awardwinning Berkeley economist Enrico Moretti looks at the major shifts taking place in the US economy and reveals the surprising winners and losers specifically, which kinds of jobs will drive economic growth and where theyll be located while exploring how communities can transform themselves into dynamic innovation hubs.A timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them and how policymakers can learn from that to lift the circumstances of working Americans everywhere. Barack ObamaWere used to thinking of the United States in opposing terms: red versus blue, haves versus havenots. But today there are three Americas. At one extreme are the brain hubs cities like San Francisco, Boston, and Durham with workers who are among the most productive, creative, and best paid on the planet. At the other extreme are former manufacturing capitals, which are rapidly losing jobs and residents. The rest of America could go either way.For the past thirty years, the three Americas have been growing apart at an accelerating rate. This divergence is one the most important developments in the history of the United States and is reshaping the very fabric of our society, affecting all aspects of our lives, from health and education to family stability and political engagement. But the winners and losers arent necessarily who youd expect.Enrico Morettis groundbreaking research shows that you dont have to be a scientist or an engineer to thrive in one of the brain hubs. Carpenters, taxi drivers, teachers, nurses, and other local service jobs are created at a ratio of fivetoone in the brain hubs, raising salaries and standard of living for all. Dealing with this split supporting growth in the hubs while arresting the decline elsewhere is the challenge of the century, and The New Geography of Jobs lights the way.
