2009-11-16 10:15:30 - GoldenNetworking.com hosting first ever America Leaders Forum 2010, "Meeting the Job Creation Challenge", January 21st, in New York City

GoldenNetworking.com will host the America Leaders Forum 2010, "Meeting the Job Creation Challenge" (www.AmericaLeadersForum.com), January 21st, New York City. This forum is organized in response to President Obama's announcement to convene a White House forum next month to discuss ways to create jobs and grow the economy; while there will not be any shortage of short-term ideas given the congressional

midterm elections looming next year and thousands more jobs being lost each week, America Leaders Forum 2010, "Meeting the Job Creation Challenge" will focus on medium and long term proposals to ensure sustained job creation for the next 20 years.

Nouriel Roubini, Chairman of Roubini Global Economics, indicated in an op-ed published by the New York Daily News that while the official unemployment rate is already 10.2%, including discouraged workers and partially employed workers the figure would take the figure to a whopping 17.5%. "While losing 200,000 jobs per month is better than the 700,000 jobs lost in January, current job losses still average more than the per month rate of 150,000 during the last recession". U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Managing Vice President for the 'American Free Enterprise. Dream Big.' campaign Brian Gunderson encouraged the White House to seek job creation strategies from a wide cross-section of voices regardless of their political ideology, business size or sector, or geographical location and to engage participants in a thoughtful discussion that can lead to real results. It is in this regard that America Leaders Forum 2010, "Meeting the Job Creation Challenge" will feature Chief Executive Officers, SMB owners, labor leaders, economist and experts who will debate a set of medium and long-term recommendations to be presented to President Obama on time for his State of the Union address.

America Leaders Forum 2010, "Meeting the Job Creation Challenge" is produced by GoldenNetworking.com, the premier networking community for businessmen, entrepreneurs, professionals and diplomats, founded by Columbia Business School MBA and former McKinsey consultant Edgar Perez.
