- Mission [1]
- The Council has pursued a three-phase approach to its work: catalyzing job growth by capturing “low-hanging fruit” over the
short-term; focusing on broader ways to accelerate job creation while also lifting U.S. competitiveness over the next two
to five years; and developing proposals on the broader factors influencing American competitiveness over the next five to
10 years. In December, the Council delivered a year-end report addressing the broader factors that underpin national competitiveness.
Our plan will be to sound the alarm. In an era of global economic competition, America’s future prosperity and the strength
of our middle class require us to be far more strategic and effective when it comes to the key determinants of economic strength:
education and training; respect for workers’ rights; tax policy; energy policy; research and development; manufacturing prowess;
fiscal and financial stability; and more. If we fail to reverse today’s troubling long-term trends, our children’s standard
of living will erode.
