The New Geography of Jobs
Enrico Moretti
Discover how different cities and regions have adapted to a changing economy in "The New Geography of Jobs." This book, praised by Barack Obama, explores the divide between brain hubs like San Francisco and former manufacturing capitals, and how the rest of America could go either way. Enrico Moretti's research shows that even non-technical jobs benefit from the brain hubs, and he outlines the challenge of supporting growth in these areas while halting the decline elsewhere. Find out how policymakers can learn from successful regions and lift working Americans everywhere.

It’s six years old now, but still a timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them – and how policymakers can learn from that to lift the circumstances of working Americans everywhere. – source
