In spite of some consolation from today's on-off hiring blips, a New York Times headline in early September poses a disturbing question, "Is Weak Job Growth Normal Now ?" For Lawrence Katz of Harvard University, the truth is harsher still: "The dirty little secret is that no one is really looking at the quality of new jobs created." Bain & Company's Mark Gottfredson puts such processes in context: "There has never been an economic discontinuity of this magnitude in the history of the world." If such issues concern you, a new book may provide some answers on what is really happening. ___________________________________________________________________________ Rising Elephant, a stimulating, sometimes-provocative analysis about India's assault on technology jobs - in the context of its longer-term economic, geopolitical and societal challenge to the West - has just been released at US bookstores by Common Courage Press. The book, which is available from Amazon, and numerous other vendors listed on the Website mentioned below, also dwells in depth about the intriguing India-vs-China equation and its impact on the rest of Asia and beyond. Should you wish to see its cover, read its Contents and Introduction, and review some excerpts, please click on the link below. Also provided on the site is the list of 1,500 citations which buttress its frequently-surprising conclusions. The book is 350 pages in length. Web: http://www.risingelephant.com Natalie Vermuelen
