Yesterday in the Financial Times, Mort Zuckerman suggested that short of a massive government intervention, America was not going to produce anywhere near the number of jobs that needed to be generated — even as it comes out of recession.
Today, I will be helping to moderate a national economic policy forum, the 3rd New America Foundation/Bernard Schwartz Economic Symposium on America’s Jobs Deficit.
It will stream live all day above — and then video segments will be posted for later viewing tomorrow.
