Today, twenty communities across the U.S. and Canada have launched Jobenomics chapters and are implementing Jobenomics initiatives.
Since 2010, The Jobenomics National Grassroots Movement has reached an estimated audience of thirty-million people via media, website, blog, and lectures. In 2018, Jobenomics America TV began airing multiple public access channels across the United States.

Jobenomics Digital Academy & Business Generator Program, Part 3: Digital USA
Digital startups are ten times easier to create than traditional brick-and-mortar startups. They are also significantly less expensive to start since the bulk of their infrastructure is in the cloud, and support staff is available as needed online. Consequently, the digital economy offers a unique opportunity to mass-produce jobs and startup businesses.
Jobenomics Digital Academy & Business Generator Program, Part 2: Digital Literacy

Part 8, Faltering Small & Startup Businesses
The steep decline in the number of business startups poses the second most significant threat (trade is first) to the health of the U.S. economy and its labor force. Over the last 4-decades, the US trade deficit in goods amounted to an incredible $12.4 trillion—a vast sum equivalent to a loss of 248 million U.S. worker earning $50,000 per year, or roughly 6.2 million jobs lost per year (see Part 7 for a detailed discussion). In comparison, degradation in new businesses equates to 76 million unrealized job gains or approximately 1.8 million lost job opportunities per year. Furthermore, existing U.S. small and micro businesses are suffering severe declines. Before the Great Recession, small business (1-499 employees) outproduced large companies (500+ employees) by a factor of 6.5-to-1, and micro-business (1-19 employees) outproduced major corporations (1000+ employees) by a factor of 4.6-to-1. As of 1 February 2019, the small-to-large ratio dropped 71% to 1.9-to-1, and the micro-to-very-large ratio fell 80% to 0.9-to-1.
Part 7, Reciprocal versus Free Trade
Reciprocal Trade is replacing Free Trade in the United States and the rest of the free world. Free trade is an ideal goal. In practice, reciprocal trade is more realistic, especially in an ever-changing global marketplace.
