The Summit is put on by the Center for American Progress Action Fund (http://www.americanprogressaction.org/). This is a quick post, because I'm typing during the lunch break.
This morning's panel, Connecting Capital with Ideas, included a number of business and investment leaders. Naturally, since they are here at the conference, they are going to be enthusiastic about clean energy, but over and over the leaders and investors repeated that green energy is the next big industry, and will be transformative on a scale at least that of the Internet. The problem for us is that other countries have a huge head start. We have let our own approach stagnate for decades while other countries have seen this as a

The reason: The U.S.  unemployment rate has been hovering around 9.6% and millions of  Americans are currently out of work, desperate for any sort of  employment.

            <description><![CDATA[The Examiner - The latest monthly jobs report showed that the unemployment rate  increased to 9.6%, which was in line with projections. The private  sector created 67,000 jobs in August, but because the government  laid-off 114,000 Census workers, the American economy actually lost  54,000 jobs. The American economy needs to create between 125,000 and  150,000 jobs a month simply to stay even with new entrants to the  workforce. The jobs report showed that private sector jobs are not being  created fast enough to accommodate new entrants to the workforce, let  alone nearly 15 million unemployed.

            <description><![CDATA[HuffingtonPost - Advocates of a welfare-to-work program created by last year's  stimulus bill are calling on Congress not to jeopardize some 240,000  jobs by letting the program expire at the end of September.
Republicans and a handful of moderate Senate Democrats blocked (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/10/100000-jobs-subsidized-by_n_493446.html) a reauthorization of TANF Emergency Fund back in March. The progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported (http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&amp;id=3274) Thursday that as the program's Sept. 30 horizon looms, "states are  ramping down their subsidized jobs programs, stopping new placements and  giving notice that existing jobs will end."

"It's a lot of fun, it's really exciting really high pressure but in a good way," said Kieselbach, whose supervisor estimates he's given 40 days so far this year.

But for some, the back payments are not  enough to make up for the financial burden caused by a lapse in crucial  benefits.
"By the time I received the money we had sold just about everything  of value we owned in order to stay as close to current with all debts as  possible," wrote Steve Santos of Zion, Ill. in an email to HuffPost on  Aug. 5. "I sold my golf clubs last week, the last personal item of value  I had left. I have not played all year; I usually play every Sunday  from April through October with a college buddy and others."

Mr. Obama also called for what the White House is describing as an “infrastructure bank” that would focus on paying for national and regional transportation projects by pooling private money with public investment.

The idea, the president said here, is to create “competition and innovation that gives us the best bang for the buck.”

The number of Americans willing and able to work but who cannot find a job hasn't stopped growing since the start of 2008. All told, about 22 million Americans are now jobless. Add in those who are working part-time who'd rather be working full time, and we're up to 25 million.
And because most families depend on two paychecks, the practical impact is almost double.

Boxer delivered the hardest haymaker of the night with her response about clean energy and AB32--which Boxer supports and Fiorina opposes. Take a look at around the 3:10 mark of the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mOO65sXxz0):



If we overturn California's clean energy policies, that's going to mean that China takes away the lead from us with solar, that Germany takes the lead away from us with wind--but I guess my opponent is kind of used to creating jobs in China and other places.



This Labor Day weekend, it's quite a clear choice between a Senator who wants to see success for American workers, and a CEO candidate who has a proven record of shipping jobs elsewhere.

"They want to have real, full-time, permanent jobs with a future. That's what they want, and we need to create that climate in Washington, D.C. that encourages businesses to create those full-time, permanent jobs with a future, and all [Rep.] Shelley Berkeley and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid want to do is put a band-aid on this by extending unemployment, which really doesn't benefit anyone.

We'd be even more fucked (http://www.newsweek.com/blogs/the-gaggle/2010/08/26/on-jobs-and-deficits-republicans-are-worse-than-obama.html).



Nothing is more important to Republican politicians these days than jobs and the deficit—at least according to Republican politicians. As House Minority Leader John Boehner put it in a "major economic address" on Tuesday, President Obama is "doing everything possible to prevent jobs from being created" while refusing to do anything at all "about bringing down the deficits that threaten our economy." Elect Republicans in November, Boehner assured his audience, and we will put an end to this insanity.
There's only one problem with Boehner's message: so far, the things that Republicans have said they want to do won't actually boost employment or reduce deficits. In fact, much the opposite. By combing through a variety of studies and projections from nonpartisan economic sources, we here at Gaggle headquarters have found that if Republicans were in charge from January 2009 onward—and if

            <description><![CDATA[The Great Jobs Depression continues to worsen.
The Labor Department reports this morning that companies created ony 67,000 new jobs in August. That’s down from the 107,000 they created in July. And because the government laid off temporary Census workers, the economy as a whole lost 54,000 jobs.
To put this into perspective, we need 125,000 net new jobs a month just to keep up with the growth of the population and the potential workforce.
Think of it this way. The number of Americans willing and able to work but who cannot find a job hasn’t stopped growing since the start of 2008. All told, about 22 million Americans are now jobless. Add in those who are working part-time who’d rather be working full time, and we’re up to 25 million.
And because most families depend on two paychecks, the practical impact is almost double.

            <description><![CDATA[NoJobSurvivor has been presenting articles on the effects of stress and joblessness for almost two years now, so certainly this headline is no surprise. But now there's a new report from Alameda County California which finds that "foreclosures have not only economic consequences, but create health problems for the people and families involved and those effects can ripple throughout a community." 
The report includes a survey of approximately 400 residents of Oakland, CA who have been hit hard by the foreclosure crisis. According to the SFGate: "the Alameda County Public Health Department and Causa Justa/Just Cause, a housing rights group, teamed up to look at how people undergoing foreclosure experience higher levels of stress and increased medical problems. Tenants living in buildings in foreclosure have similar problems."

"This kind of financial distress leads to intense levels of stress, which, in turn, makes it not at all surprising to find people

            <description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people requesting unemployment benefits declined last week for the second straight week, and productivity in the spring fell by the largest amount in nearly four years while labor costs rose.
In the productivity report, the Labor Department said productivity dropped at an annual rate of 1.8% in the April-to-June quarter, double the 0.9% decline originally reported a month ago. Unit labor costs rose 1.1%, the biggest rise in labor costs since late 2008.
